Jonas Cain – What Would Happen To The World? – 16 November 2012

Harry
Chapin routinely performed charity concerts, giving his money away to
rebuild this place or that; feeding the hungry here and the hungry
there. But Harry’s social causes at times caused friction among his band
members. He donated a third of his paid concerts to charity, often
performing alone with his guitar to reduce costs.
After Harry’s death, his wife Sandy said, “Harry was supporting 17
relatives, 14 associations, seven foundations and 82 charities. Harry
wasn’t interested in saving money. He always said, ‘Money is for
people,’ so he gave it away.” Despite his success as a musician, he left
little money and it was difficult to maintain the causes for which he
raised more than $3 million in the last six years of his life. The Harry
Chapin Foundation was the result, which works to support organizations
that have demonstrated their ability to dramatically improve the lives
and livelihood of people by helping them to become self-sufficient.. As
of September of 2012 the Foundation has distributed over 1.7 million
dollars to 413 organizations.
Oh if a man tried
To take his time on Earth
And prove before he died
What one man’s life could be worth
I wonder what would happen
to this world
Harry showed us what would happen. And so will I. Who wants to join us?
