“I believe we have a responsibility and a built-in urge to use our talents and innate gifts to help improve the lives of those less fortunate. Sing for Hope Volunteer Artists do this every day – from a hospital room in Hell’s Kitchen, to an after-school program in the South Bronx, to The Sing for Hope Pianos on the city streets. I am inspired by this work and am proud to be a part of an organization that transforms the lives of under-served New Yorkers on a daily basis.”
— Professor Muhammad Yunus, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Sing for Hope Board Member
