In an effort to raise awareness for East Coast Wildlife Rehab, Frame of Mind made them the beneficary of their 2016 Wildlife Benefit Show. For the month that the show was on display in their store, 30% of art sales were tallied and donated to the rehab, which safely rereleases hundreds of injured and orphaned animals back into their native habitats.

FoM said they chose to fundraise for East Coast because their small team is not funded by the state. The funds raised by artists and patrons — which totaled to $300 — went directly to help provide food, shelter, and medicine to hurt animals. The show ended with an event Aug. 27.
