COWPARADE AND NYC CHARITY SHARE BOND: God's Love We Deliver, a major non-profit that makes and delivers meals to seriously ill persons, will be the exclusive charity partner staging the 100th global edition of the iconic CowParade, which returns to New York City from August 18 through September 30. This year's CowParade event commemorates a full-circle moment for God's Love We Deliver, which benefited from the first such NYC event in 2000. Starting August 18, cows will be on display across the five boroughs of New York City in various "pasture" locations, including Industry City in Brooklyn's Sunset Park/waterfront neighborhood, which was set to host a special kickoff event last night to thank artists and God's Love volunteers and supporters.

CowParade events have been staged in 80+ cities worldwide, including 34 countries, with more than 6,000 life size fiberglass cows painted and imaginatively transformed by many thousands of global artists, sculptors, and celebrities. God's Love We Deliver and CowParade were connected by Janeen Saltman, a principal of JKS Events, which had been working with Jerry Elbaum on the return of CowParade to New York.
