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 />

<strong>JPMorgan</strong> <strong>Chase</strong> donated $10 million to<br />

Robin Hood in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

water. These AquaTowers are community-<br />

based water filtration systems that meet<br />

In an additional partnership with Sesame<br />
