Ex-Phish Manager Donates Items Featured in On-Line Charity Auction
The Mimi Fishman Foundation
is pleased to announce yet another of a series of online charity auctions. Teaming
with Rock the Earth
- a Colorado based non-profit - the auction features a wide assortment of rock
related memorabilia and concert packages.
John Paluska, the former manager of the band Phish, has donated many of the
items from his personal collection. Included are several rare t-shirt packages
that date back to the early days of the band, as well as other rare pieces of
memorabilia.
Several other bands are also represented in the auction including The String Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee, Allman Brothers, Jack Johnson, Disco Biscuits,
and Bonnie Raitt. The String Cheese Incident has donated several ticket/pass
packages which are certain to attract quite a bit of attention, as SCI only
has a limited number of shows left with original band member Billy Nershi -
who recently announced he will be leaving the band after summer 2007.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit Rock the Earth, as well as the Delta
Gamma Center for Children with Visual Impairments.
To view and/or bid on the auction, please visit the Mimi
Fishman Foundation Auction Page. The auction closes December 3, 2006.

the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Evangelical Children's Home, Healing the Children,
The Solace House and The Delta Gamma Center for the Visually Impaired. With
