“Robin Hood has been fighting poverty in New York City for more
than three decades so we’re no strangers to helping in a crisis,
but this pandemic has taken more lives than 9/11 and
Superstorm Sandy combined,” said Robin Hood’s Founder, Paul
Tudor Jones. “We realize that even once we get past the current
medical emergency, we will be left with its aftermath, which will
hit New York’s poorest and most vulnerable hardest of all. Robin
Hood is in this fight for the long haul and now more than ever, we
must not only act generously, but creatively. We are grateful to
partner with Phillips and the New York art world to do just that.
It’s all hands on deck as we rebuild our great city.”
