The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.

Forgive me getting personal but I actually balled my face off at times. One of my best friends father's went into the ground yesterday (on 8/30). So take another look at the setlist, specifically the lyrics of the opening 6 tunes. To me last night's show will always be for him, especially the Icculus.
I can be just as critical/negative as anyone on the music, but sometimes it's important to remember what's important. Sometimes I forget, but everyday is a gift. Family and friends are what's important. And luckily for me that includes this band and all us crazy fans!
