Featured Event

National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day – Times Square, New York

August 20–21, 2026

The GOOSE Foundation has been invited to participate in the National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day Flagship Event in Times Square, New York.

During this event, the Foundation plans to introduce Until It Was My Child – A GOOSE Foundation Initiative: The Dragonfly Infinity Memorial, a worldwide memorial dedicated to honoring lives lost, supporting families, increasing public awareness, and creating meaningful family-submitted data that helps communities better understand the impact of addiction, suicide, fentanyl, and other drug-related deaths.

This national launch represents an opportunity to share Montana's story while helping families around the world know they are not alone. It also marks the first national introduction of Until It Was My Child and the GOOSE Foundation's long-term vision to remember every life, educate every community, and support every family.

Seeking Community Sponsors

The GOOSE Foundation is currently seeking businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals willing to sponsor travel, lodging, promotional materials, and continued development of the Until It Was My Child platform.

Your support allows the Foundation to represent Montana on a national stage while expanding education, awareness, prevention, recovery support, and remembrance for families across the country.
