Community Impact Events
WSF coordinates direct involvement and volunteer events for fans to participate in that support local organizations in the communities Goose is touring through. These events are a great way to connect, build relationships, strengthen community, provide support, give back, and having some fun while we are doing it!
Examples of community impact events include a "Flow Kit Packing Pre-Party" and sorting clothing, toys, and other essentials for children in need in Chicago.
