""We are deeply saddened by the events that occurred at Brown University this past weekend," they stated in an email and on social media. "Our hearts are with the victims and their families, the Brown University students, and the greater Providence community that so graciously welcomed us into their home.""
"The online auction, featuring "several one-of-a-kind items from the weekend" - signed Goosemas setlists from both nights, the carnival-barker-like stage posters (" The Man who belonged to the Moon!") - will benefit the Brown University Student Emergency Fund, which "provides immediate financial assistance to students impacted by crisis, displacement, or sudden loss," per the band's statement."
""These funds help cover essential needs such as housing, food, travel, and other urgent expenses - ensuring students can remain safe, supported, and focused on their education during a difficult time," they stated."
Goose performed its annual Goosemas show in Providence the night a mass shooting occurred two miles away at Brown University, leaving two dead and nine injured. The band launched a merchandise fundraiser and a weekend-long online auction, with all proceeds directed to the Brown community and victims. The Goose & Western Sun Foundation Auction raised roughly $16,000 in less than 24 hours. Auction items include signed Goosemas setlists and distinctive stage posters. Proceeds will support the Brown University Student Emergency Fund, which covers urgent needs like housing, food, travel, and other essential expenses for impacted students. Bidding runs through 6 p.m. Sunday.
