The chief manufactures are plastic products, hardware, and machine parts.  Institute in Key West, has decided this will be his main focus as it pertains to charitable work.

"Kids are dying on US1, and the Keys lack severely a program that educates these kids about the rules of the road. You have children getting behind the wheels of what becomes a deadly weapon deadly weapon n. any weapon which can kill. This includes not only weapons which are intended to do harm like a gun or knife, but also blunt instruments like clubs, baseball bats, monkey wrenches, an automobile or any object which actually causes death.  and they need to know what they are doing before someone dies again," he says.

Entering US1, there is currently a sign that provides an actual number of fatalities as they occur.

"Personally, I find the sign offensive. I would never want my child to be a number on a sign. But at the same time, it reminds people that US1 is a magnet for tragedy when people driving it aren't paying attention Noun 1. paying attention - paying particular notice (as to children or helpless people); "his attentiveness to her wishes"; "he spends without heed to the consequences"
attentiveness, heed, regard
. This is not just about the kid in the car, but the innocent driver who they collide into that becomes a victim," he says.

Evans moved to the Keys after performing for several years at The Desert Inn in Las Vegas. Prior to that, Evans appeared on such TV shows as "Full House" and "Beverly Hills, 90210."

"Forming some type of drivers ed program for kids has got to be a priority second to none at this point, and not enough is being done," says Evans. "This is a start, and we'll round up the support of those who are influential in the Keys to make sure that the next life lost is not their own. I know this all sounds blunt, but how else should we be about this? High school kids are getting killed."

He next performs in Key West on May 31st with former "Drifters" lead singer Ben E. King. The official website is http://www.keywestconcerts.com. After each concert, an after party featuring the special guest star takes place.

"The after party's might be a method to raising money as well, we're looking into it," Evans concludes.
