Join the Harmony Run 23 August in NYC

At 1.00 pm on Monday, 23 August  at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza, just a block away from the United Nations you can join with numerous UN Ambassadors, members of the diplomatic community and World Harmony Run Coordinators from over 100 nations to celebrate the finish of the 50 state US relay.

Founded two decades ago by the spiritual leader and world harmony visionary Sri Chinmoy to promote international understanding, the World Harmony Run is now the world's longest global relay. The run is a non-profit event organized entirely by volunteers which simply strives to encourage goodwill among peoples of all nations 

Sing for Hope Donor Artists Amy Justman and Brian Neff will perform as will the New York City Housing Authority Youth Chorus, led by Larry Matthew.

"What Sing for Hope does is wonderfully simple. It maintains a roster of compassionate, world-class artists who donate time and talent to the humanitarian causes that inspire them."
- Dr. Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Sing for Hope Board Member. To learn more, please visit www.singforhope.org
