This past Sunday, the Harold Robinson Foundation hosted its 7th Annual Pedal on the Pier event on the Santa Monica Pier, raising more than $1 million dollars to help send Los Angeles-based underserved kids to camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith more than 100 teams and 1,000 attendees, we were able to hit record-breaking numbers this year,\u201d Joyce Hyser Robinson, co-founder of the Harold Robinson Foundation, said in a statement. \u201c[…]I am proud to say Pedal on the Pier has quickly become one of LA\u2019s most popular, physical philanthropic charity events.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also revealed their new partnership with Queen Mary leaseholder, Urban Commons<\/a>, to raise $30,000 to help send 100 kids from a yet-to-be-announced school in Long Beach to the Camp Ubuntu program in 2018.<\/p>\n

The camp offers programs including athletics, performing and fine arts, design, film-making, music, field trips, conflict resolution and leadership development, according to the foundation\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu, which means \u201cI am because we are,\u201d is an ancient South African philosophy the Harold Robinson Foundation has adopted as a tool to teach children the guiding principles of the foundation, which are family, respect, unity and community and framing all of Camp Ubuntu\u2019s programming.<\/p>\n
