Osiris, Waterwheel & Nectars Presents: Waterwheel 25th Anniversary @ Nectar's

September 26, 2022 - By Dana Slattery

On Sunday evening at Nectar's, Burlington VT's most iconic venue, friends and fans gathered for a night of music & dance to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Waterwheel Foundation. The organization created by Phish to oversee the band's various charitable activities. The night included live performances from Osiris Podcasts, and a handful of Burlington's most beloved musicians.

CashorTrade was proud to make an appearance on-stage to present Beth Montori-Rowles, the force behind The WaterWheel Foundation, with a check for $10,000. It included funds that CashorTrade users donated over the past 2-years by selling tickets to other fans using the 'Waterwheel Donation Feature" right within CashorTrade. This tool was built to allow fans to donate the cost of their tickets directly to the organization.

Watch our quick reel of the evening here:

We were so honored to be able to provide the funds with the help of our users. We look forward to working with The WaterWheel Foundation more in the future as they align with our values here at CashorTrade.

Thank you to everyone who made it out, and to all of our members who donated the cost of their Phish tickets to WaterWheel. Check out some photos below from the event and learn how to use the new donation tool within CashorTrade.

Good karma for your extras?

Did you know fans who post their Phish tickets on CashorTrade can opt to donate the proceeds of their face value sale directly to WaterWheel? By helping Waterwheel raise money from ticket sales, we have the unique opportunity to contribute to Phish's many charitable activities around the country. Formed in 1997, WaterWheel donates to social and environmental causes at every stop on every Phish tour, with a special focus on our Old Home Place: Vermont.

Over 25 years, they have donated millions of dollars to over 500 organizations, from food banks to children's music therapy to water quality and beyond. CashorTrade will charge buyers the cost of the credit card fees (3%) and donate 100% of ticket revenues to WaterWheel.

To donate the cost of your tickets to Waterwheel, simply opt into the "Donate the full cost of your tickets to The WaterWheel Foundation" prompt on STEP 5 when creating a ticket post.

Thank you all for supporting the face value movement, and supporting the good deed doers over at The Waterwheel Foundation.
