Los Angeles, CA—Caine & Weiner was proud to send a team to participate in the Pedal on the Pier fundraising event June 3, 2018, to benefit the Harold Robinson Foundation. Each team was required to raise a minimum of $2,500; the Caine & Weiner team – Raisin Caine – raised $15,000 for the foundation. Also supporting Raisin Caine was Cami, daughter of Greg & Chris Cohen. Her foundation, Cami’s Clozet, supports the Harold Robinson Foundation with clothing donations for campers. The donations are distributed to kids attending Camp Ubuntu’s 3-day sleepaway retreat.
The Raisin Caine team, led by President & CEO Greg Cohen, consisted of Chief of Staff Shamaria Smallis, Chief Commercial Officer Joe Batie, VP Corporate Counsel Steven Friedland, Operations Managers Clay Small and Rogger Virgill, Executive Assistant Maricor Bolado, and Myishea Hudson, Patricia Malki, Jhustin Solero, Yanalte Jovel, and Steven Romero. The team pedaled relay-style for
five hours to earn their donations and was supported by a variety of family and friends to encourage and cheer them on.
The Harold Robinson Foundation was established based on the principle that each and every child deserves opportunities, no matter where they stand on the socioeconomic ladder. HRF provides the funding and resources to send Los Angeles’ less fortunate children to camp, in a safe and nurturing environment, far away from the stress that most of them face on a daily basis. HRF strives to create a sense of purpose and accomplishment in each individual, while working towards building communities through communication and support for schools and families. The mission has grown from the simple hope of allowing youths to experience camp for a weekend to investing in their futures, their families, their schools and their communities.

The motto of Pedal on the Pier is We Spin, Kids Win! and its goal is to raise $1,000,000 to send underserved kids to camp through the Harold Robinson Foundation. The foundation funds Camp Ubuntu, which brings more than 25 underserved schools on 3-day camp retreats; Ubuntu Watts Day Camp in the heart of Watts; and Parenting from the Heart, a unique parenting program.
