He's a Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter and brother of the late Harry Chapin, who co-founded the social justice organization known today as WhyHunger -- the organization behind the Thanksgiving-time fundraiser "Hungerthon."
For 32 years, Hungerthon has leveraged the power of radio in New York to support programs that fight poverty and hunger in America.
Chapin has been a general in the WhyHunger army.
As Sean Adams reports, Chapin has devoted his life to feeding the hungry.
"He wanted to make a difference," Chapin says of his brother, Harry.
