What's New

Phish's WaterWheel Foundation and the Mimi Fishman Foundation have teamed together once again with an on-line charity auction featuring ticket packages for the first leg of the Phish 2012 Summer tour.

Phish kicks off their 2012 Summer Tour on June 7 in Worcester and concludes the leg on July 8 in Saratoga Springs. Stops along the way include Deer Creek, Alpine Valley, and more, as well as a 3-night run in Atlantic City.

The auction also includes the Hurricane Dress that Phish drummer Jon Fishman wore during the VT Flood Recovery Benefit concert at the Champlain Valley Expo. The dress is signed by Jon as well. The funds raised for the dress will go to the WaterWheel Vermont Flood Recovery Fund at the VT Community Foundation.

In addition the auction features a very special Strangefolk reunion package. The items featured in the package were donated in honor of Patrick Gallagher and will benefit the Adirondack ASPCA and the Humane Society of Chittenden County.

The WaterWheel Foundation was created by Phish in 1997 to oversee the band's various charitable activities. The Mimi Fishman Foundation was established in 1999 by Miriam "Mimi" Fishman (the late mother of Phish drummer Jon Fishman) and David Shulman and was created as a vehicle to raise funds for various charities important to Mimi.

The on-line on-line auction is currently live with the bidding coming to close on Monday, March 26.

To view and/or bid on the auction, as well as read about the charities the auction supports, please visit the Mimi Fishman Foundation Auction Page.

The Mimi Fishman Foundation has launched a new on-line charity auction that features many show used drumsticks and drumheads from Phishs 2011 shows. Every stick and head is dated as well as signed by Phish drummer Jon Fishman.

The headliner of the auction is the dress Jon Fishman wore during the Sept 4, 2011 show at Dicks Sporting Good Park in Commerce City, CO. While Fishman traditionally wears (on stage) a mu-mu style dress with Os (doughnuts) on Sept 4, 2011 he surprised everyone by wearing a dress with Xs instead of Os. The dress which was only worn during this one show is featured on the auction.

Proceeds from this auction will benefit the Delta Gamma Center for Children With Visual Impairments specifically to support the newly created Mimi Fishman Adventure Camp which is coordinated by Delta Gamma and offers a safe camp environment for visually impaired children.

The on-line on-line auction is currently live with the bidding coming to close on Thursday, March 1.

As you might have heard, Phish will play a special show at Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, VT next Wednesday, September 14. The concert will benefit Vermont flood recovery efforts as proceeds from the concert and merchandise sales will be directed to The WaterWheel Foundation and The Vermont Community Foundation to aid in the recovery of the Green Mountain State.

The Mimi Fishman Foundation will also be assisting with a very special on-line auction of ten tickets packages - one of which will be a Friend of WaterWheel package. The auction is currently live and can be accessed athttp://www.mimifishman.org/auctions

General admission tickets will include a free MP3 download of the entire show (a fully mixed soundboard recording) that can be redeemed at www.LivePhish.com shortly after the band steps off stage.

The WaterWheel Foundation and the Mimi Fishman Foundation have teamed together for the 2nd time in two months with an on-line charity auction featuring ticket packages. While the past auction was for the first portion of the Phish 2011 Summer tour, the new auction features tickets packages for the second portion of the Phish 2011 Summer tour, including Phishs own festival, Super Ball IX.

Super Ball IX will take place before the second leg of the tour begins on July 4 weekend in Watkins Glenn, NY. Phish then kicks off the 2011 Summer Tours second leg August 5th with a return visit back to the amazing Gorge Amphitheatre. The tour continues with shows at the Hollywood Bowl, Lake Tahoe, Chicago, and Denver.

All proceeds raised will benefit Phishs WaterWheel Foundation.
