The Mimi Fishman Foundation, named after Mimi Fishman (mother of Phish’s
drummer, Jon Fishman), was founded in 1999 by Mimi Fishman and David Shulman.
The Foundation supports charities that were important to Mimi, including health
and women/children related charities. Sadly, Mimi passed away last year,
however the Foundation continues to function in her honor.
