What's New

The Mimi Fishman Foundation has launched its firston-line charity auction of 2013. Featured this time around are band signed posters from the 2012 Madison Square Garden New Years run, as well as show used and signed drumsticks and drumheads from the end of Phish's 2012 Summer Tour - including the highly acclaimed shows held at Dick's Sporting Goods Park just outside of Denver.

In addition, for the 9th time in as many years, the Mimi Fishman Foundation is assisting Rock the Earth by hosting a section of the auction to directly benefit the wonderful Colorado based organization. Items on the Rock the Earth auction include some tasty festival packages (Bonnaroo, Gathering of the Vibes, Wakarusa, Summer Camp, Mtn Jam, Electric Forest, Forecastle, All Good, and Outside Lands), as well as a few other gems we urge you to check out.

The auction will remain open until Thursday, April 25, so check back atwww.mimifishman.org/auctions often to make your bids and help support the MFF and RtE!

The Mimi Fishman Foundation recently joined forces with Phish's WaterWheel Foundation in an auction of Phish's New Years run tickets. The auction raised over $10,000, which was then donated to The Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties in NJ and The Food Bank for New York City to assist with their hurricane Sandy recovery efforts.

The Mimi Fishman Foundation has launched a new on-line charity auction that features several New Years Eve ticket/poster packages as well as Phish memorabilia featuring a very rare kick drum head that was used by Phish in the 90's and has been signed by the band. The auction also includes a large number of Phish 2012 Summer Tour posters signed by the band and a very unique memorabilia package from the 2011 New Years run. Umphrey's McGee and the String Cheese Incident have kindly contributed New Years Eve ticket/poster packages as well.

The on-line auction is currently live with the bidding coming to close November 14.

The Foundation also announces 2012 3rd Quarter Grants:

• $10,000 - Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments
• $1,000 - Helping Hounds
• $1,000 - Borinquen Defensores de Animales del Sur (BDAS)
• $1,000 - Jordan-Elbridge Central School
• $500 - Front Range Hippotheorapy

Monday, August 27 was a special day for the Foundation. Taking advantage of a day off in Phish's tour schedule, Jon Fishman (Phish), Jon's wife, mother-in-law, and children, along with Matty Beck (WaterWheel), Lee Scott (Jon's drum tech), John Langenstein (Phish Director of Security), and David Shulman (Mimi Fishman Foundation) paid a visit to the Delta Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments (DGC).

During the visit the MFF donated $5,000 to the DGC, increasing the grand total donated to the Center to over $160,000. Jon Fishman also sang songs with the Delta Gamma children and led them in a drum circle.

It was so heartwarming to see the wonderful work the Center does with the kids (ages birth to three).

The auction features a lineup of musical heavy hitters including Phish, String Cheese Incident, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Widespread Panic, & Radiohead.

The auction will benefit several organizations including Conscious Alliance, a Boulder based nonprofit organization committed to distributing much needed food to communities across the United States and providing long term solutions to hunger by focusing on empowerment programs for youth in impoverished regions of the country.

The auction runs through June 25, 2012 and can be found at http://www.mimifishman.org/auctions/
