Robin Hood – New York, NY<br />
On September 30, <strong>2011</strong>, The Black Eyed<br />
Peas performed the largest charity concert<br />
ever held on the Great Lawn, with 60,000<br />
in Central Park and thousands more<br />
watching live via web stream. <strong>Chase</strong> was<br />
the presenting sponsor. The concert raised<br />
$4 million for the Robin Hood Foundation<br />
— New York City’s largest private poverty<br />
fighter. Robin Hood provides grants and<br />
guidance to food pantries, homeless<br />
shelters and health clinics, and provides<br />
workforce training for impoverished<br />
New York City residents. As part of the<br />
partnership with The Black Eyed Peas,<br />
Robin Hood is funding the opening of<br />
three Peapod Academies in New York City.<br />
Over the coming years, we will support<br />
disadvantaged youth in New York City by<br />
providing music and artistic education,<br />
such as music engineering, and mixing and<br />
video editing, among other opportunities.<br />
