On October 5, Jon Fishman will join Merl Saunders and his Funky Friends, Col. Bruce Hampton and the Code Talkers, and Sand Bear in paying tribute to his late mother, philanthropist and longtime Syracuse resident, Mimi Fishman.

The benefit concert will be held at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, New York.

A Tribute to Mimi celebrates the life of a very visible and loved member of the Phish community, Mimi Fishman, whose foundation will receive a charitable donation from the concert’s proceeds. Her philanthropic dedication was sparked by her love of music and her life with the debilitating disease of glaucoma. Thousands of dollars have been donated in her name to the American Glaucoma Society, as well as other charities, from previous fundraising efforts.
