Month: March 2021

To the White Light Foundation and Twiddle community, Today we want to communicate with you that Steve Perlah has resigned from the White Light Foundation. Steve has been the President of the foundation since its inception six years ago and we honor all he has done for the foundation. Steve poured his heart and soul into the vision from day one, and he truly willed the foundation into something bigger than all of us. As the foundation grew, Steve fostered incredible partnerships with many amazing organizations that joined WLF to help make a difference. We will always be grateful to Steve and his family for their efforts to make the foundation run smoothly and grow. We wish Steve the best moving forward.

As Steve leaves the foundation the board of directors are working diligently to move the foundation forward with Twiddle and continue the good work. As things get back to normal and we start having concerts, Twiddle will continue to support the foundation by giving $1 of every headlining show ticket to the foundation. White Light Foundation will donate that money to charities where Twiddle plays and help to spread the positive message from the band and our community. We look forward to seeing all of you soon and restarting that process.

As we look back over the past 6 years, our collective commitment to doing good has manifested in dynamic ways. We have donated to countless non-profit organizations around the country, supporting causes near and dear to the Twiddle family. WLF has awarded grants to Children’s Hospitals, Addiction Treatment Centers, Animal Shelters, Food Pantries, BLM causes and countless other 501c3 groups that also “love relentlessly”. Our recurring scholarships at Castleton University that benefit students in financial need, passionate about music, and individuals dedicated to community service, is something the band members are particularly proud of.

While the foundation is blazing forward without Steve as President, his sacrifice, leadership, and passion for doing good will forever be woven into the White Light Foundation’s core. Thank you Steve!

Love Relentlessly,

The White Light Foundation Board of Directors

Please join us Wednesday, March 3rd at 7:30 PM EST on facebook for an entirely improvisational “WLF Jam” from Twiddle. In solidarity with the White Light Foundation’s efforts to address systemic racism, there will be a White Light Frankie pin drop immediately following the 20+ minute jam. 100% of these proceeds will be added to the $15,000 already pledged to these causes. While the jam is free, you can support the WLF’s efforts by donating at paypal.me/wlfdonate.

We are excited to announce the final recipients for the Month of Giving in support of Black History Month. While February has come to an end, our giving and learning has not… we have a few additional things coming up and we very excited about them (more to come).

We are returning to last summer. First Twiddle was scheduled to support Vampire Weekend in Bend, OR, Boise, ID, and Missoula, MT among other locations so we decided to start our giving there. We are thrilled to support The Montana Racial Equity Project, Central Oregon Black Leaders Assembly and Treasure Valley_NAACP. There amazing organizations on the frontline of ending systemic racism in their communities.

When the tour was cancelled, the band pivoted and drive-ins were scheduled. One event was with the team at Adirondack Independence Music Festival and unfortunately due to gathering restrictions that was cancelled as well. We are thrilled to support Soul Fire Farm who is committed to ending racism and injustice in our food system.

Each of these organizations have received $1,000 grants thanks to your support and generosity and we encourage you to visit their pages and learn more about the incredible work they are doing.

Love Relentlessly
