Mimi Fishman Foundation Auction for Hurricane Katrina Relief

The Mimi Fishman Foundation is pleased to announce a new and most important on-line charity auction to benefit Conscious Alliance’s Katrina Relief work.   Conscious Alliance is dedicating their current efforts to providing relief to victims of Katrina.  To date they have personally delivered over 50,000 lbs of food to the Astrodome evacuees.   Next on the plate for Conscious Alliance is to collect and deliver food to the evacuees stranded in various hotels in the Houston area.  

The auction features a large assortment of artwork and music memorabilia, including many signed items and several ticket/pass packages.  It is no coincidence the auction has a heavy String Cheese Incident influence, as SCI and the Madison House family has been one of the strongest supporters of both Conscious Alliance and the Mimi Fishman Foundation over the last several years.   In addition to music related items, artwork has been donated by Scramble Campbell and Stanley Mouse.

The Mimi Fishman Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 1999 by Miriam "Mimi" Fishman (the later mother of Phish drummer Jon Fishman) and David Shulman as a vehicle to raise funds for various charities, including The American Glaucoma Society, Colorado's Boulder County Safehouse, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Evangelical Children's Home, Healing the Children, The Solace House and The Delta Gamma Center for the Visually Impaired.  With no paid employees, the Foundation operates solely by the help of volunteers. 

The Conscious Alliance organizes food drives nationally at concerts, music festivals, and sporting events to benefit local food pantries and impoverished Indian Reservations across the greater western United States.  Their vision is to create a network of organic farms on Indian Reservations across the United States and beyond.  These farms will be classrooms for Native Americans, as well as for college students and workers inspired to learn organic farming techniques and see the fruits of their labor feed some of the hungriest people in North America

Every winning bidder will receive a free ($60.00 value) 2005 Jam Cam Chronicles DVD series subscription (featuring SCI, Keller Williams, Ratdog, Moe., Umphrey's McGee, Railroad Earth and dozens more) compliments of the kind folks at Jam Cam Chronicles.
