TO ORGANIZE
Anyone
who’s organized a preparty fundraiser knows that there’s more than
meets the eye when signing on to host an event. Though there is a good
amount of work involved, the rewards are huge and almost everyone who
has organized one of our events has loved the experience and has/will do
it again. If you’ve already volunteered at a preparty fundraiser and

WHAT IS A PREPARTY FUNDRAISER?
A
Wishlist Foundation preparty fundraiser is a group of fans gathering
before a Pearl Jam concert to meet up and make new friends. We add in
the charitable aspect by supporting Pearl Jam’s Spotlight Charities and a
local organization selected by the organizer of the preparty. Mix in a
massive raffle of Pearl Jam fan memorabilia, an amazing auction of
autographed items and some merchandise available for a donation and
you’re part of the beautiful movement of fans helping to make the world a
better place.
Inspired by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
legends’ music, philanthropy and activism, Pearl Jam fans volunteering
with Wishlist Foundation have been fundraising in their honor for the
past 16 years! The first preparty fundraiser was held on October 5, 2004
at Humphrey’s Bar & Grill in St. Louis prior to the Pearl Jam VFC
concert organized by Brent Hinson and Laura Trafton. Due to its success,
and the success of the 2005 Canadian preparty fundraisers, Wishlist
Foundation was created.

LOS ANGELES UPDATE - there's been a hiccup with the organizing of the Los Angeles events - but on the bright side, the amazing Jon Marshall Voorhies has stepped up to help at the last minute! 🦸♂️
As a result, Friday's event will be a meet-up only. Jon will be on hand from 4-6PM to collect any raffle and auction items for drop off.
Wishlist merchandise and limited raffle items will be available at the Saturday, May 7 fundraiser event between 4-6PM.
Volunteers are desperately needed if you have some free time to spare! Thank you all for your understanding!
