Lennon kin donating 'Peace' proceeds
John Lennon's widow and two sons are donating the proceeds from the 40th anniversary release of the hit "Give Peace a Chance" to a U.N. peacebuilding fund used to help countries emerging from conflict, the fund announced Tuesday.
Chile's U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, who chairs the U.N. Peacebuilding Commission which oversees the fund, praised Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Julian Lennon for their decision to celebrate "the uniting spirit" of the "universal anthem" by contributing to global efforts to help countries through the difficult move from war to peace.
