#WearingOrange for Gun Violence Awareness
On any given day in San Francisco, you’ll see fans proudly wearing orange to support our local World Series Champions. But today is different. Wearing orange today means so much more…
Today, June 2nd, is the first-annual National Gun Violence Awareness Day and For Goodness Sake is taking the pledge to “Wear Orange” – a color that symbolizes the value of human life. There are 88 Americans whose lives are cut short by gun violence EVERY DAY and by wearing orange we are honoring those lives, while pledging to do what we can to keep guns out of the wrong hands and be responsible gun owners.
Over 140 organizations, cultural influencers and elected officials have come together to raise awareness and promote anti-violence. The Caliber Foundation is one of the many Wear Orange advocates, offering support to victims, families and communities that have been devastated by illegal gun violence. Our friends at Jewelry for a Cause partnered with the Caliber Foundation to create the Caliber Collection, helping cities across the country buyback illegal guns.
Each piece in the Caliber Collection is made from bullet casings and engraved with the serial numbers of the illegal guns that were reclaimed and taken off our cities’ streets. The jewelry symbolizes a gun’s transformation from a destructive weapon into a powerful symbol of renewal and no two pieces are exactly alike. For Goodness Sake is proud to support the Caliber Foundation every day through the sale of selected pieces from the San Francisco Caliber Collection at www.forgoodsake.org. The recycled gunmetal for this collection was brought to Jewelry for a Cause after a local Bay Area police department took 291 illegal guns off the streets through a gun-buyback program, helping make our community a safer place.
To show our support for the Wear Orange campaign and amplify efforts to reduce gun violence, For Goodness Sake is giving away a Reclaimed Gunmetal Bangle and Reclaimed Gunmetal Cufflinks created by Jewelry for a Cause. To enter for a chance to win, sign up for our newsletter today at http://bit.ly/1FQrUmw and become a part of our give back community. For more ways to #GiveBack, follow us on Twitter, Instagram and like us on Facebook.
Every person deserves to live a life free from gun violence and together we can make our country safer. We’re #WearingOrange today, are you?
To see how this national movement began, watch the video at http://wearorange.org/#play and support the cause at wearorange.org.

For Goodness Sake Supports MedShare
For Goodness Sake
Supports MedShare
Impacting the Health
and Quality of Life of People Around the World
On May 4th, For Goodness Sake joined fellow change
makers from Google, John Muir Health, Stanford Health Care and Sutter Health to
support MedShare at their annual Talk
& Taste event. The event, held at the Google
Impact Hub, honored the works of 2011 Nobel
Peace Laureate Madame Leymah Gbowee and renown surgeon Dr. Assad Hassoun. We
were thrilled to be a part of such an extraordinary gathering to help
positively impact the quality of life and health of others.
Madame
Gbowee connected with the audience on a very human level – her insights on how
each community must not only accept and seek aid, but also, be the leaders of
their own change was an inspirational message that resonated deeply with the
For Goodness Sake team.
In light of
the devastating earthquake and aftermath in Nepal, the event could not have
been timelier. We collectively raised
funds to support MedShare’s efforts to collect and donate medical supplies to
help the tens of thousands affected.
MedShare’s
cause exemplifies what we can all accomplish by coming together through
community engagement and collaboration.
Being surrounded by inspiring thought leaders heightened the For
Goodness Sake team’s appreciation for the positive impact we can make, and we
are excited to continue to strive to find new ways for everyone to give back
every day.
Live Big.
Love Hard. Give Back.
