Inspired by Bob Geldof's Band Aid project, Al conceived the Bandwagon
Project which produced a benefit recording, 'Three Sides of Hunger,' and
two televised concerts which elevated awareness of the plight of the
poor in America and raised thousands of dollars for American agencies
that aid the hungry and homeless. For his efforts, Al went on to win The
Jefferson Award from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Foundation for
Outstanding Public Service.
