WhyHunger is lending a hand in the fight against hunger and poverty by auctioning off tons of rare and cool items, including more than 50 guitars signed by artists ranging from Johnny Cash to Keith Richards to Brad Paisley to Taylor Swift.
WhyHunger--an organization seeking to end hunger and poverty by connecting people to nutritious, affordable food, and by supporting grassroots solutions that inspire self-reliance and community empowerment--has kicked off Hungerthon 2012, its annual fundraising campaign.
The auction runs through Dec 13, and includes two-day radio-thon (December 8 and December 12) via SiriusXM radio.
Hungerthon 2012 aims to make a difference in the lives of the 50 million Americans and one billion people worldwide for whom hunger is an everyday reality by auctioning off tons of rare and cool items, including more than 50 guitars signed by artists ranging from Johnny Cash to Keith Richards to Brad Paisley to Taylor Swift.
WhyHunger was formed in 1975 by Harry Chapin and longtime NYC radio host Bill Ayres, and has raised over $13 million to date. What began as a simple commitment between two friends to make a difference has grown into an award-winning global non-profit, leading the movement to end hunger and poverty and creating a just and sustainable food system. From humble beginnings, WhyHunger remains committed to the belief that everyone deserves access to nutritious, affordable food and that together we can truly make a difference.
