Community & Giving

Goobers Give Back

We run two events a year for kids, and we keep a standing rule about non-profit work: when it’s for kids who had no say in their situation, we find a way to say yes.

See our events Non-profits, start here

Why we do it

Kids don’t get to pick their situation.

A kid doesn’t choose the house they’re born into, whether there’s a clean shirt for school in the morning, or whether there’s dinner. That’s the part that gets us. So when a non-profit working on that comes to the Goobers, the answer is almost always yes — donated hours when we can swing it, and a keep-the-lights-on rate when we can’t.

Two of our own events exist for the same reason: get kids outside, get them playing, and let the money follow them. We started both, we run both, and our team works them.

We’re a busy group of Goobers, so we won’t pretend we can take on everything at once. Tell us what you need and what you’ve got to spend, and we’ll tell you straight what we can do.

Events we run

Two days a year that are entirely about kids.

Techno Goober started both of these. We plan them, we run them, and the community shows up in a way that still surprises us every year.

Coming up · Oct 10

Goober Golf World Championship

A four-person par-3 scramble where the challenges are the challenge. One shared ball for the whole foursome. A comically oversized cup. Opposite-handed clubs. A pin planted in the bunker instead of the green. And Bob’s Revenge, which we’re not going to explain here. Adult and Youth World Champions get crowned, and every dollar goes to local kids playing sports.

12th Annual · Back next June

Andy & Opie Kids Fishing Tournament

We started this one to give local kids and their parents a reason to spend a morning outside together. Registration is free. Bait is provided, volunteers help rig the rods, lunch is free hot dogs, and there’s face painting on the lawn. Every kid who stays to the end goes home with a fishing rod. Winners are judged on the length of the biggest catch, in girls’ and boys’ divisions across three age groups — more divisions, more kids holding a trophy.

WhenOne Saturday each June, 9 AM–noon. The 12th ran June 6, 2026.
WhereMilton Memorial Park, 113 Union St, Milton, DE
WhoAges 7 & under, 8–12 and 13–17, girls’ and boys’ divisions
CostFree — every year, for every kid, no matter what

In memoriam The 2026 tournament was made possible by a generous donation from Kody’s Kids, in loving memory of Phillip Brown — fondly known as Kody Bear.

Causes we back

Clothing kids. Feeding kids. Including kids.

We work with a lot of non-profits. These three are the ones we bring up first, because they cover the things no kid should have to go without — clothes on their back, food on the table, and a seat at the table with everybody else.

Clothing Our Kids

Clothing Our Kids removes a major barrier to learning — the lack of essential school clothing for students from Head Start through High School.Clothing Our Kids

School counselors and social workers send in a request for a specific student. COK fills it with new clothes — right sizes, right preferences — and delivers the boxes straight to the school. A kid who has something clean to wear shows up, stays, and doesn’t get picked on for it.

5,179students clothed in the 2025–26 school year

44,254students helped since 2012

277,308items of new clothing distributed

In the Mpasa I region on the outskirts of Kinshasa, Miriam’s Table has been putting a real meal in front of hungry children five days a week since October 2014. It is about as direct as charity gets: money in, food on a plate, a kid who ate today.

DFRC

Our mission is to enrich the lives of Delawareans with intellectual disABILITIES.Delaware Foundation Reaching Citizens with Intellectual disABILITIES

DFRC has been at this since 1956. Their Hand-in-Hand buddy program pairs Delaware high school students with buddies who have intellectual disabilities, and the Blue-Gold All★Star Football Game every June turns that friendship into the biggest high school football night in the state — with the players and cheerleaders raising the money themselves. Kids showing up for other kids is exactly the sort of thing the Goobers want to be near.

How it works

What a non-profit actually gets from us.

No application, no committee, no grant cycle. Call us and tell us what you’re trying to do.

Free advice

Ask us anything. A strategy call, a second opinion on somebody else’s quote, what to do about your email — no charge and no pitch at the end of it.

Donated hours

When it’s for kids and we have the room on the schedule, we do the work and don’t send a bill.

A keep-the-lights-on rate

When we can’t donate it outright, we charge what it costs us to stay open — not what we’d charge a business for the same job.

Built and looked after

Websites, hosting, listings and support — handled the same way we handle everyone else’s, so your donors and volunteers get a site that works.

Straight talk We’re a small, busy shop, and we can’t say yes to everything at once. Tell us the deadline and the budget you actually have, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can take on and when.

Who we work with

Non-profits running on Goober-built sites.

Every one of these is a live site we built. See the full portfolio.
