Long Island Native Singer To Hold Benefit Concert In Patchogue

Ryan Cassata, an award-winning singer-songwriter and a Long Island native, will be performing a concert benefiting The Fashion Foundation at Bean of Patchogue on April 13.

Cassata, who was named to Billboard's "11 Transgender & Non-Binary Musicians You Need to Know," is also an actor, performer, writer and LGBTQ activist.

Proceeds from this event will be used to provide books to local underprivileged schools so their students have access to reading materials. Tickets are extremely limited but are open to all ages for just $15 or $30 with a limited edition Ryan Cassata t-shirt.

Cassata started his activism career at 13 after joining "The Safe Schools Team" and gave dozens of public speeches near his hometown on Long Island at schools and conferences. He continues to give speeches all over the USA to continue to spread the message. He is the first recipient of the Harvey Milk Memorial Award, became the youngest keynote speaker to ever be selected for the largest transgender conference in existence, and has made appearances on several shows including The Larry King Live Show, and The Tyra Banks Show.
