Lady Gaga will be performing at the annual Robin Hood Foundation Gala on May 9 – and to celebrate, the charity has launched two Facebook initiatives.
Just by “liking” the Robin Hood Facebook page and inviting your friends, you could win free tickets to the private show in New York City next month.
The second initiative is via Lady Gaga’s own Facebook page, where you can help choose which of five charities should receive a cut of $1 million from Robin Hood. All five charities will get some of the money – the winning charity will receive $500,000, the next will get $250,000 and so on – and it’s up to you to decide who gets the most.
According to Robin Hood, NYC’s largest poverty-fighting organization: “Right now, 4,000 New York City teens are living on the street. Some aged out of the foster care system, some ran away from abusive homes, and others were rejected by their families because of their sexual orientation. Robin Hood’s programs offer a lifeline to the city’s most vulnerable teens, helping them get off the streets and build stable lives. We believe every teen deserves a chance at success. We hope that you do, too.”
