Tune in on Thursday night to see the results!
Good night, Los Angeles. New York City, we’re coming home.
Thank you all for your support and for joining us on the road to the Do Something Awards. We’re off to the show taping. Stay tuned, wish us luck and tune in to VH1 on Thursday night to see who wins.
- Joplin, MO Tornado Recovery: a Facebook page created to raise funds for Joplin after it was devastated by tornadoes in May 2011
- 93 Dollar Club: raises money for local food banks in Menlo Park, California
- Livestrong Chalkbot: a Facebook app that allows users to send messages that will be written on the roads during the Tour de France
Good luck to all of the nominees. From New York to Missouri and across the Atlantic, we’re honored to be in such great company.
On our way to pick up our Do Something Awards tickets, look who we stumbled across! The original Robin Hood, Errol Flynn. A good omen, we think.
![Robin Hood’s mission is to fight poverty in New York City. But, since we’re visiting the City of Angels, it seems appropriate to take a moment to discuss some of the issues facing Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the second most populated city in the United States after New York.
New York’s poverty rate is 22% of the population (1.8 million); Los Angeles’ poverty rate is 20% (over 750,000 people).
The homeless population of Los Angeles in 2011 is 23,539 (0.62% of the population). The homeless population of New York in 2011 is 113,000 (1.3% of the population).
Poverty exists coast to coast and affects members of your community. We hope that you’re stepping up to Do Something about it.

Since we’re in California, we thought it only right to seek the endorsement of Disney’s leading lady. She happily obliged and insisted on wearing Robin Hood’s hat.
Thanks for your support, Minnie!
