Seven non-profit groups in Schuyler County will share the $100,000 distribution from the charitable foundation of the jam band Phish that was pledged after last year's scheduled Curveball festival at Watkins Glen International was canceled because of health concerns.

Phish was scheduled to appear from Aug. 17 to 19 before the event was canceled after heavy rain earlier in the week led to flooding and a lack of potable water at the racetrack and surrounding areas. Schuyler County and the New York State Department of Health were unable to issue the required permits for the festival to go on.

Shortly after the cancellation, Phish announced it would be donating $100,000 to help in the recovery effort through The WaterWheel Foundation, a non-profit group that oversees the band's charitable activities.

"We are so thankful to Phish and The WaterWheel Foundation for funding these grants benefiting a number of our area nonprofits," WGI President Michael Printup said in a press release from Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes.

"These tremendous organizations were instrumental in helping Schuyler County residents through last August’s flooding event, and we are proud to host the ceremony at which they will be rightfully honored."

There will be a check presentation ceremony at 5 p.m. April 9 at WGI. The total contribution ended up being $104,125.42. Proceeds were raised through merchandise sales.

These groups will each receive $14,875.06:

Arbor Housing and Development Foundation.

American Red Cross of the Finger Lakes.

Dundee Fire and Rescue Team.

Hector Food Pantry.

Humane Society of Schuyler County.

Watkins Glen Fire Department.

Valois Logan Hector Fire Department.

“We were all so disappointed by the cancellation of Curveball last summer and recognize, in particular, that Watkins Glen and the surrounding communities suffered terrible consequences from the flooding," Beth Montuori Rowles, executive director of The Waterwheel Foundation, said in the release.

"Being able to make this donation reaffirms all of our goals as a charitable foundation, harnessing the collective philanthropic efforts of Phish and their fans to be able to give meaningful donations to the communities that we visit on tour. We’re just glad to have the opportunity to help."

Randi Hewit, president of the Community Foundation of Elmira-Corning and the Finger Lakes, praised Phish's efforts.

"It isn’t every day that you get a call from a nationally known band such as Phish," Hewit said in the release. "We are extremely honored to have been asked to partner with The WaterWheel Foundation, the band’s philanthropic arm, to direct these funds to the right organizations."

Watkins Glen is set to host the 50th anniversary show of Woodstock this year, from Aug 16 to 18.
