New York

Saturday June 3rd members of the GIFT CONNECT team took part in the Carnegie Lullaby Project Celebration.  


Each year, the Lullaby Project pairs new and expecting parents with professional artists to write and sing personal lullabies for their babies, supporting maternal health, aiding childhood development, and strengthening the bond between parent and child.


This performance features a selection of new works written this season—as well as the stories behind the songs—from the community of parents, songwriters, and partners who worked together to create them.


This heartwarming concert program honors the intimate moments of family life.

We will be supporting the Champions in taking the message back to mothers and caregivers in their respected churches to further amplify our work.
