Mike Driebe, representatives from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital,
accepted on behalf of their organization a $150,000 contribution from
the Supreme Master Ching Hai.
Accompanied by a
60-piece orchestra, the program included the performancers of singers,
composers, and actors from Hollywood, such as Samantha Hunt, Shep

Kubik, Steven Cooper, Bill Conti, Peter Boyer, Fred Karlin, George
