Wishlist Foundation - a Pearl Jam Fan-Run Nonprofit Organization The original Pearl Jam fan nonprofit organization & official preparty fundraisers, since 2004. Tax ID #20­5497732.

The Wishlist Foundation is the original Pearl Jam fan grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Pearl Jam’s charitable and philanthropic efforts. Wishlist is 100% fan run, independent from the band, its management and fan club. Since its inception in 2004, Wishlist Foundation has raised over 1.5 million dollars for charitable organizations in the arenas of health and chronic illness, environmental causes, arts and education and social change.

“We are incredibly grateful for the decade-plus years of support and inspiration from the Wishlist Foundation's pre-parties,” states Mike McCready, lead guitarist of Pearl Jam. “I think our fans are very proactive in terms of fundraising for events before our shows. They do it of their own volition and they take care of each other and their communities. It always blows me away.”

A pioneer in fan-based viral activism and leader in the Pearl Jam fan community, Wishlist Foundation's Preparty Fundraisers are the go-to destination for thousands of fans all across the globe to gather before Pearl Jam and other related concerts, forge new friendships, all while uniting behind causes important to both the fans and band. MISSION STATEMENT
Our ongoing mission is to unite and utilize the collective ability of Pearl Jam fans around the globe to make a difference in the world. Together we can do so much more as a group than by each one of us acting individually. Our inspiration comes from lyrics, music, interviews and words of encouragement from the band Pearl Jam.

It’s hard to sleep when you know you are headed to the Ohana Festival tomorrow!

We’ve missed these trees, the beach, the music, the Cove, and our friends. We can’t wait to see you there!

With the Ohana Festival just around the corner, we are getting excited for three days of incredible music, community, and, of course, the inspiring storytellers who will take the stage in the Cove.

Professional snowboarder, entrepreneur, advocate, wife, and mother—Kimmy Fasani—is one of the awesome speakers in the lineup who will join us in the Cove on Saturday, September 26th, at 4:40 PM.

Listen to this episode of Candle of Thought to learn more about Kimmy before you hear her full story in person at Ohana. From becoming a trailblazer in professional snowboarding to navigating motherhood, cancer, and the many challenges life has thrown her way, Kimmy has continued to push boundaries and create opportunities for women in sport.

She has been featured on the cover of Outside magazine, and her documentary Butterfly in the Blizzard earned Sports Emmy nominations for Outstanding Long Form Documentary and Outstanding Editing. As incredible as those accomplishments are, it was Kimmy’s honesty, strength, and perspective that made this conversation so special.

Tune in to this episode to hear Chrissie and Kimmy talk about finding strength in adversity, as well as the importance of community, motherhood, chasing dreams, and what it means to keep moving forward when life takes an unexpected turn.

You are not alone in your grief:

“Candle of Thought” host Chrissie Ferguson welcomes back author, Rob Janicke, for a thoughtful conversation exploring the collective grief many are experiencing following the passing of beloved musician — and friend to many — Glen Hansard.

Janicke, who has conducted extensive research and spoken with psychologists, counselors, professors, and therapists, helps us understand the psychology of impersonal grief and why it is both natural and deeply human to mourn the loss of someone we may have never met personally.

Together, Chrissie and Rob discuss ways to navigate our sadness, find comfort in shared mourning, and honor Glen’s life and legacy in the years to come.

Sending love to Glen’s family, friends, and fans, especially today and tomorrow.
