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 WhyHunger Chapin Awards Dinner Welcome to the 2012 WhyHunger Chapin Awards Dinner Honoring: The 2012 Harry Chapin Self-Reliance Award winners “Food, What?!” (Santa Cruz, CA) (Represented by Maya Salsedo) HOPE Collaborative (Oakland, CA) Neighbors Together (Brooklyn, NY) Tierra Y Libertad Organization (Tucson, AZ) Food for Maine’s Future (Sedgwick, ME) The 2012 WhyHunger-Chapin Award winner SiriusXM Satellite Radio The ASCAP Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award winners Darlene Love • Peter Noone • Ronnie Spector WhyHunger 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. • Honorary Dinner Chairs Harry Belafonte Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) Bruce “Cousin Brucie” Morrow Paul Williams, President, ASCAP Dinner Co-Chairs Special Thanks to Our Dinner Committee Annie Balliro, Ed Barron, Steve Beninati, Steve Blatter, Jason & Christina Chapin, Jen Chapin, Greg & Tamra Dion, Hamish Dodds, Hon.

WhyHunger Chapin Awards Dinner WhyHunger Programs: WhyHunger’s National Hunger Clearinghouse works to build the capacity of emergency food providers. We connect thousands of people in need across the US to food pantries, soup kitchens, government programs and model grassroots organizations through the National Hunger Hotline: 1-866-3 HUNGRY. A man begins his day with a free, nutritious meal at Yorkville Common Pantry in East Harlem, a WhyHunger partner working on the frontlines to fight hunger. WhyHunger Chapin Awards Dinner WhyHunger Programs: The Grassroots Action Network provides capacity building services, mentoring, training opportunities and technical assistance to thousands of food justice organizations that are actively forging new ideas to transform communities and end hunger and poverty in the US. WhyHunger Board Member Tom Chapin and Grassroots Action Network Director Brooke Smith meet with The Homeless Garden Project Executive Director Darrie Ganzhorn in Santa Cruz, CA. WhyHunger Chapin Awards Dinner WhyHunger Programs: Artists Against Hunger & Poverty enlists performing artists, such as Bruce Springsteen, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Jackson Browne, Papa Roach, Marc Broussard, moe., Chicago and more, to raise funds and awareness for the most innovative and effective community-based organizations fighting hunger and poverty across the world. AAH&P founding member Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band celebrate 10 years of satellite radio with SiriusXM Satellite Radio and in support of WhyHunger at the Apollo Theater in 2012. WhyHunger 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. WhyHunger Board & Staff Board Co-Founder Charles J.
