Attention, June 9 ticketholders: Remember to get your tickets reissued for the September Concert 4 NYC. If you have not received an email about your tickets, email events@robinhood.org. 

This is a story about not giving up.
- David Saltzman, Executive Director of Robin Hood

When the Concert 4 NYC was canceled, Robin Hood and the Black Eyed Peas were devastated. We had worked for months to bring a show to Central Park for 60,000 people, only to see it all washed away. We knew that we owed it to the people of New York to try again. Robin Hood, the City of New York, the Central Parks Conservancy, and Chase all worked tirelessly to find another date for the Concert 4 NYC. We hope that you will join us on September 30, and we thank you for your support. We couldn’t be Robin Hood without you.

Let’s do it again. On June 9, the lightning stopped us. But we haven’t given up. We’re proud to announce that the Concert 4 NYC has been rescheduled for September 30 at Central Park. Everyone who purchased or won tickets for the June 9 concert will receive instructions via email to claim new tickets. Thanks for sticking with us. We hope to see you at the park.

I understand poverty-fighting as an increase in earnings or income for individuals or families, but also as an improvement in their health-related quality of life.
