Robin Hood

At the , there’s no such thing as too many cooks in the kitchen.

Thank you to our incredible stars of the evening: , for her energizing finale concert, for their fantastic dinner set, and the Young People’s Chorus of New York City — — for their moving performance. For that, thank you to Elizabeth Núñez, Creative Director, & Francisco J. Núñez, Artistic Director & Founder! And a big thank you to Pete Davidson for wave after wave of laughter.

Thank you to the 1,500 production crew, Robin Hood staff, our phenomenal co-chairs and corporate co-chair, the creative directors, choreographers, caterers, tech crews, and every single person who worked tirelessly to make this event a success. You built a jaw-dropping, unforgettable event.

And a major thank you to every donor, community and corporate partner, and dedicated governance member. This would not have been a family meal to remember without you. You make us Robin Hood.

This year’s Benefit really took the cake. 4,000 New Yorkers in the Javits, $73 million (and counting!) raised, and the announcement of a $1 billion endowment to permanently secure our poverty-fighting mission. Our community of caring always reminds us that we are stronger together.

Robin Hood’s community never ceases to amaze. In just one night, we’ve raised $73 million — and counting — to support our poverty-fighting work.

Because of the generosity of people who supported this year’s , we can provide more opportunities for thousands of New Yorkers in need.

And now, we’re building on this work with the launch of our Campaign for the Future — a $1 billion endowment to permanently secure our poverty-fighting mission, anchored by the Bezos family’s $100M Jackie Bezos Endowment for Early Childhood. Our community of caring always reminds us that we are stronger together.

Nearly 1 in 3 New Yorkers is hungry. More than 1 in 4 lives in poverty. Now, and for generations to come, our network of community partners will enable our neighbors to put food on the table, keep stable housing, learn in high-quality environments, find new pathways to work and, ultimately, build a permanent path out of poverty.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to those who choose to support this work. Thanks to you, our neighbors can be fed, cared for, and supported. Thank you for being Robin Hood.
