HARRY CHAPIN
The happy secret of this work is that it feels
good. To connect with good people solving
big problems; to work the land of an urban
farm or hold the hand of a needy child.
It feels bad to be passive and powerless.
My dad Harry had felt those bad feelings,
and chose a life of joyful action.
“When in doubt, do something,” he said.
Harry also said “I am a greedy, selfish
bastard. I want the fact that I existed to mean
something.” And mean something it did.
So tonight, we make a new pledge to be
selfish bastards; and do something!
- Jen Chapin

Chapin Awards Dinner
Senator Patrick Leahy
(D-VT), Honorary Chair
Patrick Leahy has been an active part
of WhyHunger and our work for more
than 34 years, and presently serves on
our Advisory Board.
Because never in the history of the
Congress of the United States has one
Member done so much in the fight
against hunger, in 2000 WhyHunger
awarded him with our first Lifetime
Achievement Award. During his
first term as Chair of the Agriculture,
Nutrition and Forestry Committee,
Leahy wrote and marshaled through
landmark nutrition legislation.
He followed that with twenty more
anti-hunger laws. He almost
single-handedly led the way to major
improvements in child nutrition,
school lunch and breakfast, WIC,
and the food stamp programs.
Leahy’s leadership on national
and international food assistance
programs is legendary. •
WhyHunger
Paul Williams
President, ASCAP
- Honorary Chair
Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe
winning Hall of Fame songwriter and
President & Chairman of the Board of
ASCAP. One of America’s most gifted
lyricists and composers, Williams’
musical legacy, including “We’ve
Only Just Begun”, “You and Me
Against the World” and “The Rainbow
Connection”, have been recorded by
artists including Elvis Presley, Frank
Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, REM, Tony
Bennett, Dixie Chicks, and Kermit
the Frog.
His recent work is wonderfully
diverse, from creating the story and
writing the songs for Disney’s Emmy
nominated A Muppets Christmas:
Letters To Santa, and writing music
and lyrics for Garry Marshall’s
theatrical sensation Happy Days,
to writing with the Scissor Sisters
and Daft Punk. The world premieres
of Still Alive, a documentary about
Paul, took place at the Toronto
International Film Festival and, in
the US at SXSW. Williams has been
lauded for his work as a songwriter,
performer, actor and humanitarian. •
Tom Chapin
Evening Host
For 36 years, three-time Grammy
winner Tom Chapin has entertained
amused and enlightened audiences
of all ages with life-affirming original
songs presented in a sophisticated
array of musical styles. His
remarkable musicianship, great
songwriting and personal warmth
shine whether he’s performing in
concert halls, at outdoor festivals or
school, with symphony orchestras or
intimate coffeehouses.
Chapin’s varied career has taken him
to Broadway, off-Broadway, film and
television. He has contributed satiric
topical songs to NPR’s Morning
Edition, poking fun at social and
scientific trends in the news. Tom
works tirelessly on behalf of many
charitable organizations. He has
served on WhyHunger’s Board of
Directors since its founding in 1975. •
Chapin Awards Dinner
Bruce “Cousin Brucie”
Morrow
Brooklyn-born Bruce “Cousin Brucie”
Morrow joined SiriusXM Satellite
Radio in 2005 and hosts two weekly
music programs: Cruisin’ with Cousin
Brucie on ‘50s on 5 channel airs
weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays.
He also hosts Cousin Brucie’s Rock ‘n
Roll Party ‘60s on 6 channel Saturday
nights.
For 50 years, Morrow has been
mainstay of New York and national
radio, remaining one of its most
popular personalities. He was a
favorite on-air host on New York
radio’s WINS, WABC-AM, and
WCBS-FM.
Morrow was inducted into The Radio
Hall of Fame; The Broadcast & Cable
Hall of Fame; and the National
Association of Broadcasters Hall
of Fame. He served as President of
Variety, The Children’s Charity NY.
Morrow is regularly seen on PBS
as a spokesperson for the music
industry. In 2004 WhyHunger
honored Morrow for his work as our
“Hungerthon Chairman”, setting
the tone for Hungerthon by telling
listeners how WhyHunger impacts on
the lives of children. •
Harry Belafonte
Legendary multi-talented actor,
recording artist, performer, author
and activist Harry Belafonte was
the 2000 recipient of the ASCAP
Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award.
Harry’s career took off with the film
Carmen Jones (1954). Soon after, he
had several hit recordings including
“The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)” and
“Jamaica Farewell.” In addition to his
acting and singing career, Belafonte
worked as a champion for many social
and political causes, from providing
financial backing for the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Council and
his work with Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., to his leadership in the movement
to end apartheid in South Africa. In
the 1980s, Belafonte led an effort to
help people in Africa. He initiated the
idea of recording a song with other
celebrities, which would be sold to
raise funds to provide famine relief
in Ethiopia. Released in 1985, “We
Are the World”, was an international
hit and raised millions of dollars that
were dispensed by USA for Africa.
WhyHunger was one of the recipients.
Harry’s artistry and outspoken passion
for human rights and human dignity
continue to be our inspiration. •

Chapin Awards Dinner
Honoree
“Food, What?!”
Santa Cruz, CA
FoodWhat?!’s energized name speaks to its mission: inspiring and
empowering youth. The program partners with local low-income and
at-risk youth to grow, cook, eat, and distribute healthy, sustainably raised
food and address food justice issues in the community. Food is the vehicle
for FoodWhat?!’s primary goal of growing strong, healthy and engaged teens.
FoodWhat?! creates a space where youth learn how to grow and cook healthy
food, engage in job training, and develop leadership skills and lasting
confidence in themselves. The work is often profoundly transformative for
the youth, as they find their voices and become leaders in their communities.
FoodWhat?! will use the Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Award to support
opportunities for teens throughout the year, including spring internships,
summer jobs, fall business management positions, and community events
on the farm.
WhyHunger
Chapin Awards Dinner
Honoree
Food for
Maine’s
Future
Sedgwick, ME
WhyHunger
In a unique combination of local and international activism, Food for Maine’s
Future, or FMF, integrates the work of local Maine fishers and farmers into broader
national and international movements, ultimately working to return land and food
policy into the hands of grassroots communities. At home in Maine, FMF works
to preserve local food cultures, support family farm production, ensure equitable
distribution of healthy food and support the civil rights, health and security of all
people. Connecting local efforts to the global movement, FMF informs and motivates
Maine farmers and fishers to take ownership of the big issues: land reform, ending
corporate seed patents and the need for political organizing to push back against the
well-funded agribusiness lobby.
Using tools such as Saving Seeds, FMF’s acclaimed newspaper, and social media, the
organization strives to shape the debate around key issues and provide a forum for their
partners in Maine, nationally and internationally to address the need for democracy
and social justice at all levels of the food system. Funds from the WhyHunger Harry
Chapin Self-Reliance Award will contribute to the expansion of FMF’s work, making
it possible to organize a 2012 national convergence of landless workers.
Chapin Awards Dinner
Honoree
HOPE
Collaborative
Oakland, CA
WhyHunger
HOPE Collaborative (Health for Oakland’s People and Environment) is a collaborative of
Oakland residents, community-based organizations and public agencies working to support
community-driven environmental change to reduce health disparities in the most vulnerable
communities in Oakland. HOPE envisions vibrant Oakland neighborhoods that provide
equitable access to affordable, healthy, locally grown food, safe and inviting places for physical
activity and play and sustainable, local economies—all to the benefit of the families and youth
living in Oakland neighborhoods with the greatest disparities. HOPE’s vision is steeped in
their core values: health equity, food and social justice and community ownership.
HOPE’s work is shaped by the belief that community leadership and ownership are critical
to the success of policy and systems change efforts and that real change can only occur
when people living under challenging and inequitable conditions have ownership of both the
decision making processes and civic and economic resources that impact their everyday lives.
The Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Award will support HOPE’s Youth Action Board, a group of
young community leaders, aged 14-25, dedicated to creating conditions for food justice, racial
justice, environmental justice and overall social equity. The YAB’s current project is a healthy
coupon book that aims to promote healthy eating among Oakland youth by advertising discounts
at healthy food businesses and resources at food justice organizations.
Chapin Awards Dinner
Honoree
Neighbors
Together
Brooklyn, NY
WhyHunger
For over 30 years, Neighbors Together has been a beacon of hope in the Ocean Hill,
Brownsville, and Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhoods of Brooklyn, one of the lowest-income
areas in New York City. 6,000 people a year turn to Neighbors Together’s soup kitchen
for free, nutritious meals – that’s 400 people each day. Beyond food, Neighbors Together
provides critical social services and community organizing opportunities, empowering their
members to stabilize their lives while developing skills to advocate for positive change in their
community. Neighbors Together is committed to community organizing as an essential part
of being a soup kitchen, recognizing that it is critical for those who lack resources and rely on
their services to be vocal advocates for change in their community.
Funds from the Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Award will support Neighbors Together’s
Community Action Program, which engages their low-income members in advocacy and
community organizing efforts to improve public policies impacting their daily lives. Through
this program, Neighbors Together provides civic education, leadership development,
advocacy training and ongoing community organizing opportunities to effectively involve
their members in shaping anti-poverty policies at the city, state and federal levels to improve
the lives of low-income people.
Chapin Awards Dinner
Honoree
Tierra Y
Libertad
Organization
Tucson, AZ
WhyHunger
Tierra y Libertad Organization (TYLO) advocates for migrant rights, promoting
the ideals of equality, justice and self determination. Members, supporters and allies of
the organization work to transform communities through positive social change. In an
effort to address hunger and poverty with community-based solutions, TYLO employs a
multi-tier model of grassroots community organizing, including their Freedom School,
which trains youth and adults to organize and advocate through their Barrio Committee.
They learn how to conduct door-knocking campaigns, develop community asset-based
mapping skills and strategize to identify and build more community assets – arming
themselves with the tools to create change.
Through garden projects in neighborhood homes and small institutions, TYLO has
increased access to fresh and healthy, culturally-relevant food. The Harry Chapin
Self-Reliance Award will assist in launching and supporting small Barrio-based business
enterprises, including its existing bio-intensive garden beds, as a means of income
and healthy food for families within the Barrio. These initiatives, many of which are
women- and youth-led, aim to further address food and economic security issues while
promoting the respect of land, people and culture.

Chapin Awards Dinner
Ronnie Spector
Only a few artists in history have been capable of defining an entire era
in pop music. Ronnie Spector is one of those artists: the embodiment
of the heart, soul, and passion of female rock and roll in the 1960s.
Her style and sound have influenced everyone from Joey Ramone and
Bruce Springsteen to Amy Winehouse and The Raveonettes.
Beginning in 1963, Ronnie - as lead singer of the ultimate girl group,
The Ronettes - recorded a long string of classic pop hits: powerful,
poignant teen anthems like the Grammy Award-winning “Walking
in the Rain,” “Do I Love You,” “Baby I Love You,” “The Best Part of
Breaking Up,” “I Can Hear Music,” and the international Number One
smash “Be My Baby.”
Honoree
WhyHunger
Chapin Awards Dinner
Ronnie has been partnering with charities since the mid-1960’s. She
has given endless hours to VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America),
The Office of Economic Opportunity under Sargent Shriver, Save the
Children, The Special Olympics, The Children’s Defense Fund and
Boystown. Ronnie also contributed to The Songs of Love Foundation
for children and teens struggling with life-threatening illnesses or
lifetime disabilities, raised funds for The Hole in the Wall Gang and
The Channel 3 Kids Camp, and, most recently, a donation of a recording
of Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black to raise funds for Daytop Village.
Closer to home, Ronnie participated in a great concert on behalf of
WhyHunger’s annual Hungerthon in 1994 when she, Darlene Love,
Johnny, Gary US Bonds, Johnny Rivers – backed by the E Street Revue
performed at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank NJ to raise money,
awareness and kick off Hungerthon in rock and roll style. Ronnie has
shown herself to have huge compassion for the human condition and
embraced the dual roles of citizen activist with joy.
Peter Noone
Peter Blair Denis Bernard Noone achieved international fame
as “Herman”, lead singer of the legendary Sixties pop band
Herman’s Hermits. Their classic hits “I’m Into Something
Good” “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter”, “I’m
Henry VIII, I Am”, “Silhouettes”, “Can’t You Hear My
Heartbeat”, “Just A Little Bit Better”, “Wonderful World”,
“There’s A Kind of Hush”, “A Must To Avoid”, “Listen
People”, “The End of the World” and “Dandy” sold more
than sixty million recordings, including seven gold albums.
For four years, Noone hosted VH1’s My Generation, the
highest-ever-rated half hour retrospective of popular music.
He also hosted the informative PBS Special The British
Invasion Returns and recorded the title song for the Kirk
Douglas film Diamonds. Peter has also served as guest
mentor on American Idol.
Honoree
WhyHunger
Chapin Awards Dinner
From raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation and for KIKA to help children with cancer,
to being the inspiration to his fans “I’m Into Something
Good” fundraising projects, to his support f0r WhyHunger’s
Hungerthon over the past few years, Peter has shown himself
to have huge compassion for the human condition and taken
seriously the dual roles of citizen activist.
Darlene Love
“Darlene Love’s thunderbolt voice is as embedded in the
history of Rock-and-Roll as Eric Clapton’s guitar or Bob
Dylan’s lyrics.” *New York Times.
From her first number one recording, “He’s A Rebel”,
through a great string of hits including “Da Doo Ron Ron”,
“He’s Sure the Boy I Love”, “(Today I Met) The Boy I’m
Gonna Marry,” “Wait Til My Bobby Gets Home,” “Why Do
Lovers Break Each Other’s Hearts?”, “(Christmas) Baby
Please Come Home.” to the songs she sang background on
including the Crystals’ “Da Doo Ron Ron,” the Ronettes’ “Be
My Baby” and the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That
Lovin’ Feelin’, Darlene’s voice blazes a trail of success in the
music industry.
Honoree
WhyHunger
Chapin Awards Dinner
For so many years Darlene played an integral role in
WhyHunger’s early 1990s Hungerthons – at the Count Basie
Theatre in Red Bank NJ, performing with the then E Street
Review and by adding her joyful voice to the Vin Scelsa’s
Idiot’s Delight’s Rent Parties that brought Hungerthon to
a close each year. She has so generously chosen to leverage
her voice and celebrity, and inspire her fans, to raise money
for WhyHunger.
