The Grateful Dead performed at more benefits than they can count, to the point where they (amazingly!) got organized and created the Rex Foundation 40 years ago in 1984. Each year thereafter they would play shows for Rex, rendering unto the common good – small nonprofits that benefited society in the realms of the environment, arts, Native American issues, and education. This year they will celebrate grants that now total over ten million dollars given to over 1,400 grantees, a proud benchmark.

The Go Big For Hunger All-Star Band returns for two fundraising concerts at Portland House of Music & Events on March 8 and 9, 2024 (The Annual Go Big For Hunger Jam to support children with food insecurities). The shows feature Phish drummer Jon Fishman,  George Porter Jr.
