2011 Robin Hood Heroes
Each year Robin Hood recognizes outstanding organizations and a few special New Yorkers who have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and shown us the resiliency of the human spirit.
Tomorrow, Nov. 10, Robin Hood will award three new Heroes for 2011.
The video above features a Hero from 2010, School of One. Awards also went to Shereece Blake, graduate of Kingsborough Community College, and Jose Pagan, a veteran from Jericho Project.
