A F LOVE, PEACE, AND HOPE BY UDI BEHR FOR LUCIEN PICCARD LOVE, PEACE, AND HOPE BY UDI BEHR FOR LUCIEN PICCARD Love, Peace, and Hope by Udi Behr for Lucien Piccard promotes peace during times of international tension. (PRNewsFoto)[AG] NEW YORK, ... 
    NEW YORK, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- New York City intermixes a multitude of
 cultures, living together in one city. In this tradition, Love, Peace, and
 Hope by Udi Behr, effectively relays this everlasting message of resilience,
 optimism, and determination of the human spirit that is blind to all colors,
 religions, and creeds.
     Unlike traditional timepieces, Love, Peace, and Hope by Udi Behr combines
 the high-quality craftsmanship of a Swiss made watch, with designs that were
 born in New York City, by designer and Tribeca resident, Udi Behr. For spring,
 the collection introduces three new colors: light pink, camel and baby blue.
 These watches are accessible to everyone at affordable price points in various
 styles: with stainless steel and enamel, diamond bezels, and diamond pave
 face. Soft colors with a strong message, Love, Peace, and Hope by Udi Behr
 symbolizes the timeless belief that there is always "A time for love," "A time
 for peace," and "A time for hope." After all, one could never have too much
 love, peace, and hope.
     Right now, our country is pending a war and there is need to spread a
 message of peace. A peace sign, a heart, and a ribbon engraved with a
 commanding message of "Love, Peace, and Hope" emanates what can only be seen
 in the eye of the beholder and in the heart.
     Love, Peace, and Hope by Udi Behr for Lucien Piccard is a collection of
 timepieces established two years ago by renowned jewelry designer Udi Behr.
 Inspired by a moving letter from his daughter to the survivors of 9/11, Udi
 developed this accessory with an everlasting significance to its design and
 function. "It's important to always have hope, dream of peace, and to love,"
 says Udi Behr, "this is how I live my life and its what shines through in my
 designs."
     Udi's commitment to changing the world for the better surpasses just
 designing. He devotes much of his time to working with charities inspired by
 the ideals of "Love, Peace, and Hope." A percentage of the proceeds from his
 watches are donated to charity and he has been involved with Ground Hero Kids,
 God Love we Deliver, Gay Men's Health Crisis, Aids Awareness and the Fight
 Against Breast Cancer.
     Love, Peace, and Hope by Udi Behr watches are available at Saks Fifth
 Avenue and Bloomingdales.

America: A Tribute to Heroes was a benefit concert created by the heads of the four major American broadcast networks; Fox, ABC, NBC and CBS. Joel Gallen was selected by them to produce and run the show. Actor George Clooney organized celebrities to perform and to man the telephone bank. The marketing and public relations was headed by Warner Bros. EVP Corp Comm with assistance from the marketing and publicity departments of all four broadcast networks. It was broadcast live by the four major American television networks and all of the cable networks in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Done in the style of a telethon, it featured a number of national and international entertainers performing to raise money for the victims and their families, particularly but not limited to the New York City firefighters and New York City police officers. It aired September 21, 2001, uninterrupted and commercial-free. It was released on December 4, 2001 on compact disc and DVD.
On a dark stage illuminated by hundreds of candles, twenty-one artists performed songs of mourning and hope, while various actors and other celebrities delivered short spoken messages. The musical performances took place at three studios in Los Angeles (CBS Television City), New York, and London, while the celebrity messages took place at Los Angeles.[citation needed] Some of the musicians including Neil Young and Eddie Vedder were heard working the phone banks taking pledges. The money raised amounted to over $200 million, and was given to the United Way's September 11 Telethon Fund.
In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine selected this concert, along with the later The Concert for New York City, as one of the 50 moments that changed rock and roll.
The show was also simulcast in Canada; Young and another Canadian singer, Celine Dion, performed.
