Reports are that in addition to the Sir Elton and the U2's Bono, Mary J. Blige will also perform at the May 13 gala, which will be co-chaired by Justin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel.

Since it started back in 1988, Robin Hood’s annual gala has become the largest single-night annual fundraising event for a nonprofit in New York, according to Bloomberg.  In the past 25 years, the Robin Hood Foundation has raised and distributed more than $1.25 billion dollars.  Most recently, it distributed over $70 million raised for Hurricane Sandy relief via the star-studded 12-12-12 concert.
