10 things that the rock band Phish has in common with WWE

#8 Charitable Tie-Ins

These days, professional wrestling is very tied in with charitable causes. Beyond having its talent participate in Make-A-Wish appearances, WWE regularly works with a number of charities, including Susan G. Komen, the Wounded Warrior Project and its own Connor's Cure foundation. All Elite Wrestling's next big live event, Fight For The Fallen, will be donating a portion of its proceeds to victims of gun violence.

While the music of Phish is not outwardly political, the group has worked with The Waterwheel Foundation, the Mimi Fishman Foundation and the Mockingbird Foundation. Following last year's cancelled Curveball festival in New York, $100,000 was donated to the aforementioned WaterWheel Foundation, as spread out among local non-profits including The Arbor Housing & Development Foundation, the American Red Cross Of The Finger Lakes, and the Dundee Fire & Rescue Team. Meanwhile, a 2011 release from its LivePhish series benefitted Tipitina's Foundation and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation after the events of Hurricane Katrina.

As a result, fans of both professional wrestling and Phish can rest assured that their support of these entertainers often leads to much needed support of worthy causes. Even if donation amounts and charitable giving is not always touted publicly.
