🎼 About the Mockingbird Foundation
The Mockingbird Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded by fans of the band Phish to support music education for children. Entirely volunteer-run, the foundation has awarded millions of dollars in grants to innovative and underserved music programs across the country. Their work is rooted in the belief that music is a right, not a privilege — and that every child deserves the chance to discover and develop their musical voice.
By attending and supporting this event, you're directly helping the Mockingbird Foundation continue its mission of increasing access to music education — particularly in communities where it's needed most.
