Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott today attended and addressed concertgoers at the A Place to Stay Concert, featuring music from the newly released album The Foster EP by Texas singer/songwriters Radney Foster and Kyle Hutton. The Foster EP is a collection of songs narrating some of the experiences of children in the Texas foster care system. Through the album and today’s concert, the First Lady, Texas Music Office Director Brendon Anthony, Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Commissioner Hank Whitman, Foster, Hutton and others hope to inspire and educate Texans about the ways they can become involved in helping and supporting these children and families.
Also on hand at the concert were representatives from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, child placement agencies, and nonprofits that support children in the Texas foster care system and foster and adoptive families. The organizations provided information to interested concertgoers about the ways they can become a foster or adoptive parent or provide support in other ways to the thousands of Texas children waiting for a foster or adoptive home.
