Give Back
RiverFest FPS (for Pete's sake)
Jeremy's Charity of Choice
In the late 1960s, legendary musician Pete Seeger and his wife Toshi envisioned an outdoor music festival on the shores of the Hudson River. They wanted to bring people to the river to appreciate its sheer beauty and become part of a movement to clean it up. Jeremy was working with the music festival back to Croton Point Park to honor Pete and Toshi when he passed. He attended the festival as a kid, and he was excited about inviting performers (friends of his) to participate, how he envisioned the festival would "look", and how the funds raised would be used to support the efforts of various environmental organizations. Their efforts to bring the festival back continues in his honor.
USA Luge Team
Mojo's Charity of Choice
Their vision is to make the US Olympic luge team the best in the world, and Mojo was their honorary captain. In 1998, he wrote an anthem for the U.S. men's luge team, Arctic Evel Knievels. It was dubbed by many as "the greatest sports anthem ever written," and his support of the sport continued through the rest of his life.
American Red Cross
Hurricane, Flood, and Wildfire Relief
The Red Cross' mission is more than words. They always aim to prevent and relieve suffering with every action. The Red Cross shelters, feeds, and provides comfort to people affected by disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members, and their families.
