Dear Frends, Being able to channel the music and message of Twiddle into charitable giving is an incredible honor. We are grateful for Twiddle’s support and could not have accomplished a fraction of what we have without them. In May we will celebrate three years of spreading the White Light. This past year has been an incredible one – continuing to exceed our expectations by every measure. To think that our community has donated over $1,000 a week to dozens of organizations is a testament to all of you.
During fiscal year 17-18 we made grants to 50 organizations important to our community. We have donated to crisis centers, food pantries, music education, animal rescues, sustainability organizations, advocacy organizations and so many others. Why do we support so many causes? Because you do.
Beyond the numbers, White Light Foundation produced our first benefit concert, engaged in partnerships with dozens of incredible artists and expanded our sponsor relationships. We have been fortunate to be supported by a passionate and generous team of volunteers who channel the music and message of an incredible band. We are starting 2018-2019 with big plans and ambitious goals. We will begin our year with Twiddle at Red Rocks raising money to help individuals with severe developmental disabilities and follow that up with some exciting event and product announcements leading up to our return to Tumble Down.
On behalf of the Board and volunteers, thank you for continuing to support our mission. Thank you for nominating organizations important to you, contributing to your community and helping us to grow our impact. But above all, thank you for spreading the White Light.
Love Relentlessly,
Steve Perlah

So excited for Twiddle and Fiddlehead Brewing Company to see this made in Vermont partnership brewing up something so Relax and Dream(y) – especially with AJ Masthay’s special touch. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements regarding WLF and Fiddlehead including details of their sponsorship of this year’s White Light Foundation Charity Disc Golf Tournament:Wampahoofus, a special charity pin collaboration and who knows what else … Love Relax & Dream Relentlessly.
Dear Frends, We are here on familiar and Frendly grounds. It is hard to believe that this will be our 4th Frendly Gathering and considering we just celebrated our third anniversary, we are coming home … to where it all began. We are excited to reunite with some old Frends – like Martin Guitar who have generously provided a limited OMCPA4 Special featuring the art of Danny Steinman, and Burton Snowboards who are providing one of their snowboards, both will be raffled off in support of two incredible organizations, Vermont Family Forests and LoveYourBrain.
Well, if you’re going to raise money for charity in sub-freezing temperatures it’s best to do it with good Frends. Thanks to all of you who came out Saturday night to see Twiddle and Kung Fu crush it and helped us support the Level Field Fund. Thank you Never Summer Industries, Martin Guitar, the team at Stratton Mountain Resort and The Vermont Open for all your support. Congratulations Ian Kilgore and Kyle Beroth on being our big winners!
Frends, We don’t know how to adequately thank everyone for making our first White Light Foundation Presents event such an incredible success, but one thing is for certain, we would never have been able to pull it off without all of you. Your support of the event, cause and mission, is how we were able to raise over $20,000 for charity. On behalf of our good Frends at GoodWorks Entertainment and The Tree of Life Fund at Ferncliff Manor, we thank you. We hope you had as amazing a time as we did. It was an incredible honor for us to be able to present Twiddle and Midnight North at The Warehouse and to bring so many Frends together for such a worthy cause – we can’t wait to do it again. In the meantime, keep an eye out for us at select Twiddle shows where we will be doing what we do best, raising money and awareness for local organizations doing incredible things for their community.
Honored and excited to present Twiddle and Midnight North in the fourth Tree of Life benefit concert with our Frends at GoodWorks Entertainment. We hope you will join us as we support Ferncliff Manor, and their programs for adults with severe developmental disabilities, with great music and good times. Limited VIP and GA tickets go on sale Wednesday 12/6 at noon EST – use PROMO CODE: “whitelight” General on-sale is Friday 12/8 at noon EST https://goodworkslive.ticketfly.com/…/1605899-twiddle-midn…/
We are so excited (and Thankful) to be going back to the The Capitol Theatre on Frendsgiving weekend (November 24 and 25) with Twiddle to support Caritas of Port Chester, Inc. Our dear Frend, Dave Vertino with the help of Victor Guarneri has created an incredible Cap inspired / Twiddle energized charity pin. The Psychedelic Squirrel (Orange) will be for the first 125 people who bring 10 items or $15 worth of canned/non-perishable food to our incredible volunteers who will be set up at the entrance. The second version (Green) is part of the VIP package with a limited quantity on sale at the WLF table and through Twiddle’s Green Room. And the main version (Blue) will be available for sale at the WLF table. And while that would be enough … we also reached out to some of our good Frends to help us help others and – Martin Guitar, Twiddle, Nate Duval and The Cap came through with some incredible prizes available to be given away with the Blue version. If you are not able to make the shows we will also be making 25 of each available for presale as a set ($45+p&h). Drop will be Tuesday, 11/21 at 8:00 pm est. Let’s make this Frendsgiving one to remember. Love Relentlessly.
