The Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation, Donor Highlights at Tidal X 1015 Concert to Benefit Robin Hood and Other Not-for-Profit Organizations and Schools

North Palm Beach, FL, October 19, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation was well represented at the Tidal X Benefit Concert at the Barclays Center on Saturday October 15, 2016. The Foundation was among many Robin Hood donors at the once-in-a-lifetime benefit concert featuring Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Nikki Minaj, Ms Lauryn Hill, Common, Lil Wayne, Tip, Robin Thicke, Blood Orange, Danielle Bradbery and other top artists. Attending on behalf of the Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation were Cara Familet, Foundation Director and Michael Chen, its Chief Financial Officer.

The performers generously elected to donate half of the proceeds from ticket sales and merchandise to Robin Hood while the other half will be split among other not-for-profit organizations and schools.

Tidal, the music streaming service owned by Beyonce, Jay Z and other artists, has secured sponsors to cover the cost of the event, so 100 percent of the evening’s proceeds will be put to good use.

“The Tidal X Benefit Concert was a perfect opportunity to once again connect our resources with Robin Hood in their efforts to improve education in New York City Schools. We are continuously impressed with the organizations ability to provide diverse avenues for donor participation. Each event is meaningful, purposeful and productive. We are consistently impressed with Robin Hood's metrics-proven results and can confidently rely on the fact that our donations go directly to the fight to end poverty in New York City,” said Chauncey Lufkin, Founder of the Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation.
