The concert will
raise funds and awareness for Robin Hood, a public charity
targeting poverty in New York City by funding and partnering
with the best and most effective programs. Robin Hood’s
grants and guidance support food pantries, homeless
shelters, health clinics and provide work-force training for
impoverished New Yorkers in the five boroughs. As part of
the partnership with The Black Eyed Peas, Robin Hood will
fund the opening of three Peapod Academies in New York City
over the coming years, which will support disadvantaged
youth, by providing music and artistic education, such as
music engineering, mixing and video editing, among other
opportunities.
Throughout the
concert, music lovers will be encouraged to donate to Robin
Hood via text message. For more information on the concert,
ticket availability, and how to donate, please visit
