> (4/28/00, 5 p.m. ET) - The Who will play a warm-up show before
> kicking off its summer tour on June 25 at the New World Music Theatre
>
> in Tinley Park, Illinois. The band will be the special performers at
> a charity event for the Robin Hood Foundation that will be held at
> the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. The private
> event takes place June 6, and actor-comedian Robin Williams has been
> named as the host for the evening. While the Who will play a set,
> fans should be forewarned that this isn't any old concert --
> individual tickets cost $2,000 and the price of a table ranges from
> $20,000 to $50,000 to $100,000.

> The Robin Hood Foundation is dedicated to ending poverty in New York
> City, but the group doesn't really think of itself as a charity.
> Rather, it's run like an investment firm -- each group that receives
> money from the foundation is investigated thoroughly and must meet
> its goals to continue the funding. The Robin Hood Foundation has
> invested $90 million in more than 100 New York City organizations
> over the past 12 years, combating problems like teen pregnancy,
> literacy and education projects, and public health issues like
> HIV/AIDS and the toll that illness takes on a community and its
> children. For more information, go to www.robinhood.org.
