GNN ACROSS EVERY SCREEN

AN IMMERSIVE 10 CITY

MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE


GOOD IS EVERYWHERE! and GNN have teamed up to create the first-of-its-kind multi-media tour that will provide practical inspiration for people to experience on and offline.


OUR MISSION is to connect, inspire and entertain people around the world by sharing good news content, innovative products and heart-felt experiences to show that “GOOD IS EVERYWHERE!”


FIRST STOP; THE TWIN CITIES

OUR LOCAL CHAMPION

Prior to heading to Minneapolis, Tony and Tobias will work with Stephanie Dillon, a Minneapolis based thought leader, artist, writer and uber connector who will help them on their mission. They first need to Identify our hero who has truly dedicated their time/efforts to helping others in need. Think of this as our CNN hero type. Stephanie will help them generate some buzz in town by having people/organizations submit their favorite people. Once they have identified their hero, they will have 72 hours to pull off their mission!

Celebrating the Good in the twin cities

Our two day event will be held in Mid October.


Day 1: Entertaining, family friendly, and inspirational pop-up experience celebrating all the good that is happening in their city. From everyday heroes, to nonprofit and for-profit businesses, and other organizations that are making a meaningful impact on their communities


Day 2: Day long symposium, leading into VIP After party experience. Attendees will have access to specialized workshops, keynote speakers, panel discussions, and a chance to network with the best humanitarians the Twin Cities has to offer.



Partnering with Local Artists and Influencers to Promote Good

We will partner with local artists, celebrities and influencers to help promote our brand and spread the message of positivity. Through collaborations with these individuals, we aim to increase awareness of our mission and reach a wider audience. Furthermore, we recognize the importance of supporting the local arts community and will work closely with a talented artist or team to create a unique physical piece of art featuring our logo.


This artwork will serve as a permanent reminder of our commitment to promoting good in the world and will remain on display in a prominent location within the city. By harnessing the power of art and influential voices, we hope to inspire others to join us in spreading positivity and making a meaningful difference in their communities.


GOOD IS EVERYWHERE HONORS

The GNN Good Is Everywhere Honors celebrates excellence in the heroes and organizations that have truly dedicated their time and resources to helping those in need. Produced by GNN, Inc. and GNN Entertainment, we will host first-ever one-day event that will bring together the award winners of the world’s most coveted humanitarian awards together for a day of celebration, reflection, learning and practical inspiration. Each will receive the GOOD-IE ("Good is Everywhere") Medal of Honor.




OUR PARTNERS/ SPONSORS

NATIONAL SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

In 2024, we are excited to take "Good Is Everywhere" on the road and bring this inspiring multi-media experience to multiple cities across the country, making it a fun and engaging event for families and leaders in each community! By focusing on the positive impact that everyday heroes, nonprofits, and businesses are having on their communities, we aim to provide a much-needed break from the negative news cycle that has put many of these cities in the spotlight. We hope that by showcasing the good in each city, we can inspire attendees of all ages to support their local community and become active agents of positive change.

Our goal is to create a network of engaged citizens who are passionate about making a positive difference in their cities. By hosting the VIP Event and Symposium for Good in each city, we aim to connect leaders and influencers who are working to drive change and provide a platform for sharing best practices and innovative ideas. By inviting local businesses that focus on community impact to participate, we hope to create new partnerships and collaborations that can help to amplify the impact of our collective efforts. Ultimately, our hope is that "Good Is Everywhere" will inspire attendees to get involved and make a positive impact in their own communities, wherever they may be.

THE INVITATION

Network support -- introductions to local leaders who aren't here but should know about our campaign


Participatory support -- we would appreciate your endorsement and participation in the summer production and culminating events in October

Financial support - we are able to receive donations through our Good is Everywhere Foundation or sponsorships into our for-profit arm. The bottom line is that this bold and brave undertaking to find and scale good is going to take investment from both the public and private sectors and we would be thrilled to explore those opportunities with you.
