On Saturday, February 10, over 1,500 next-gen New Yorkers rang in Valentine’s Day by singing their hearts out for Robin Hood.
This was more than your average Saturday night fête. We brought together Swedish sing-along phenomenon Natten and the new generation of poverty-fighters to show their love for New York City by making a difference for its most vulnerable communities.
Party Rock kicked off the concert, serving up smash songs from the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s that pumped up the crowds and packed the dance floor.
Natten took the stage next for the night’s headline performance, spinning a live concert of pitch-perfect nostalgic hits. The iconic DJs had us singing to Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” crying to Adele’s “Someone Like You,” and dancing in a cloud of confetti to Prince’s “Purple Rain.”
Caroline Jones closed out the night with a surprise set of soulful covers of modern classics, including Elton John’s “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”
Without a doubt, we felt the love: in one epic night, we raised $200,000 to provide low-income New Yorkers with the tools they need to climb out of poverty.
Thank you to our sponsors, PepsiCo and Anheuser Busch, for joining us in the fight against poverty. Thank you to our host committee, led by Dottie Jones, for making NIGHT possible. And thank you to Natten, Caroline Jones, and Party Rock for an unforgettable night of performances.
