Spring Tour Brings More West Coast Grants!
In honor of Phish's upcoming shows at the Greek Theatre, April 17th, 18th, and 19th, the Mockingbird Foundation is sending checks for $1000 to support music education through three nearby programs:
- the ARISE High School, in Oakland, CA, will be stocking up their instrument loan library with some new guitars;
- the Berkeley Unified School District VAPA, in Berkeley, CA, will be able to provide scholarships for music camp; and
- the Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School, in Oakland, CA will be purchasing new chairs for the music students.
These unsolicited "Tour Grants" are part of an effort that now totals $230,000, over 10% of all Mockingbird grants to date. We're doing them for all 8 shows this spring, and all 23 this summer, updating a running list on the Foundation's website as we go, and welcome Phish fans and others to make a tax-deductible contribution supporting this effort.

These are all great local music programs, it is so awesome Mockingbird bird is doing this. Next time donating to the area, please consider Edna Brewer middle school in Oakland. They were the model school for the Pixar Movie Soul. They are in serious need of musical instrument donations. Mr. Pitt-Smith is a gem of a teacher and would appreciate any help for this amazing music program.
