Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel announced another collaboration Tuesday: a joint $1 million donation to The Children´s Health Fund. They made a two-part donation. Half the money will go to CHF´s national network for poor and homeless children, the other half will go to a pediatric preparedness program run by CHF at Columbia University´s Mailman School of Public Health.

´Paul and Artie are American icons, and their actions today show that they are committed to improving the quality of life and opportunities for all of America´s children,´ said Dr. Irwin Redlener, president of the fund.

Redlener and Simon co-founded the Children´s Health Fund in 1987 to provide medical help for New York´s homeless children. The nonprofit organization has since expanded to cover 16 communities nationwide.
