\n\t\u201cThis is a very special award,\u201d Nash said in a statement. \u201cI thank Yoko [Ono]<\/a> and the Theatre Within for thinking of me. Over many years, I watched John and Yoko \u2018fight the good fight\u2019 for many whose voices were not being heard, a fight that Yoko continues to this day. I\u2019m proud to be associated with the many fine artists who were previously honored with the John Lennon Real Love Award.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement, Ono said, \u201cWith its joyful annual John Lennon Tribute and John Lennon Real Love Project, Theatre Within is furthering the vision that John and I shared for a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNash, 81, won a Grammy in 1970 as part of Crosby, Stills & Nash<\/a>, which were voted best new artist. He is a two-time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was inducted as a member of CSN in 1997 and as a member of The Hollies in 2010.<\/p>\n

\n\tProceeds from the Tribute support Theatre Within\u2019s ongoing free workshops in creative expression and mindfulness, including the John Lennon Real Love Project songwriting program.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince the John Lennon Real Love Project\u2019s elementary and middle school program launched in the spring of 2021, Theatre Within has brought the program to 17 schools.<\/p>\n
