35 years of fighting poverty culminated in one of the best nights NYers could have asked for – the #RobinHoodBenefit. With $61.4M raised last night… @RobinHoodNYC is creating pathways out of poverty for millions of NYers. Thank you, NYC. #FightPoverty
Last night, 4,000 NYers attended the #RobinHoodBenefit to mark 3⃣5⃣ years of fighting poverty in NY — raising $61.4 million — adding to the nearly $3⃣ billion Robin Hood has invested to help NYers permanently escape poverty over the last three decades. bit.ly/3Mh6NTk
