This has been a tough year for many New Yorkers, and God’s Love We Deliver has had a surge of 30% in people in need of their services. Social distancing made delivering even more difficult. The Cow Parade is a welcome infusion of funds.
“When the city shut down in the middle of March of 2020, literally the safety net fell away from so many New Yorkers in need,” CEO Karen Pearl said.
The mayor’s office estimated that about 45 million people came to see the cows during the three months of the exhibition in 2000. The Cow Parade was founded in 1999, and has traveled the world, with 100 events in more than 34 countries, and more than 6,000 life-size fiberglass cows painted! Below is a list of artist and celebrity supporters.
