Harry Chapin Memorial
Run Against Hunger
Celebrates 25th
Anniversary

This year, organizers are offering donors a limited edition “Harry Chapin Memorial Run Against Hunger” iris print, designed and hand-signed by famous artist/illustrator Jerry Pinkney.


Be Not Afraid

Thanks for the influence Harry!


Plans are underway for a special “Harry Chapin: A Celebration in Song” concert in New York City to benefit WHY (World Hunger Year) on its 30th anniversary.

A curious visitor asked her why she was hosting the event. “I replied — because I can,” she said.

Men, let’s face it. We stand little chance against women’s purses. Handbags are the albatross that eventually will be our undoing.
