Run for the Roses
CD and Download!
On December 3, 2011 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, the Rex Foundation presented the benefit concert Run for the Roses to celebrate the music of Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter and the Jerry Garcia Band.
With this compilation of selected tracks from each set, we are able to make the evening's unique musical experience available to people who could not attend the concert, as well as extend the reach of the benefit so as to provide additional charitable support to the Rex Foundation. This compilation is made possible thanks to the generous contributions of music, talent and resources of the participating artists, as well as the people involved in producing the benefit concert and album.

The World As It Could Be
Human Rights Education Program
With the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as its guide, the Rex Foundation has collaborated with community arts programs and schools since 2006 on The World As It Could Be Human Rights Education Program, using the creative arts to raise awareness about the UDHR and giving participating youth the voice to teach their peers and adults about the importance of the UDHR concepts.
We're delighted to report that the Program's documents — curriculum, past presentations, commentaries and more — are now available on their own site, TheWorldAsItCouldBe.org.
