The Foundation’s mission is to fund research into possible cures, improved treatments and support for patients who suffer from those illnesses, their families and their caregivers to help improve their quality of life.

NOTE: There will be a very limited number of VIP tickets for this event that includes reserved seating in the first few rows, and a limited edition poster signed by participating artists. The First Congregational Church of Montclair is located at 40 S Fullerton Avenue in Montclair, New Jersey.

Since its inception in 2000, Light of Day has raised over $6.5 million in the fight to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease. What began as a single fundraising concert in Asbury Park, New Jersey is now 40 concert events in 10 countries on 2 continents, North America and Europe.

Outpost in the Burbs, located in Montclair, is unique in northern New Jersey. It's a place to enjoy live music on Friday and Saturday nights during the fall, winter and spring, and it's an organization that offers opportunities to serve others in the community. And all of this takes place thanks to our volunteers, about 100 of them.

Since its inception in 1987, the Outpost has produced more than 500 concerts by internationally known folk artists—Judy Collins, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, Richie Havens, J.D. Souther, Dar Williams—and more than 50,000 people have attended. Outpost volunteers have donated more than 35,000 hours of their time through our programs affiliated with Habitat for Humanity, Toys for Tots, Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair, Toni's Kitchen, MESH, Community Food Bank of N.J., Dress for Success and the food pantry staffed by Outpost volunteers at Christ Episcopal Church in East Orange that feeds some 120 people a month.
