Daisy Chain Fields: Olivia Rodrigo’s All-Women Festival Carries Lilith Fair’s Torch

The event raised $10 million for women’s nonprofits (Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood, among others), later doubled to $20 million by Melinda French Gates, with proceeds going to the Daisy Chain Fund and related philanthropic efforts.
