For Goodness Sake is composed of four agencies that have come together to enhance each agency's mission in the community.  We have agreed to non-duplication of services, to make appropriate referrals, to write some grants together, to share human and physical resources when feasible, and to collaborate to produce one or more large fundraisers each year.

Celebrations of Generations.  Our first Celebrations kick off event was held on Friday, March 16th, 2007.  We gathered together at the Greeley Freight Station, which is the site of Greeley's premier miniature train museum, now under construction.  We sold many celebrations (parties/events) that were held during the year.

On March 21, 2008, we brought the Harlem Ambassadors Team for an exciting evening of basketball. They pulled out all the stops with both traveling teams present.  Over 30 local citizens, including the Mayor of Greeley and two State Senators played against the Ambassadors.  Even with 20-points added to the For Goodness Sake team, the Ambassadors still won (but barely).   A great time was had by all.

For each of the last three years, we have sponsored a Family Fun Night in August in Luther Park (21st Ave. and 10th Street).  The whole event is free and open to the public.  We give away hotdogs, popcorn, popsicles, and pop (maybe we should call it the "pop" event).  There are games to play, free school supplies, and a movie is shown on the big screen at dark.  This is our gift to the community.
