The words annual launch with a rocket ship flying between the letters

Annual Launch is a celebration of an amazing year and the kick-off for the year to come. We honor the work of our GGFYP members in the previous year and recognize the hard work that has been put in to continue our mission of enhancing our community, creating connections, and investing in each other.

Showcasing both up-and-coming and distinguished artists, this annual event gives guests the opportunity to view art from a variety of mediums, mingle with talented local and regional artists, and purchase one-of-a-kind pieces in a fun and social atmosphere.

An annual donation drive where GGFYP distributes orange garbage bags to affluent neighborhoods in Grand Forks with a flyer stapled to it indicating items of need from area non-profits. After a few weeks, the orange bags will be collected, donations sorted, & then redistributed to the participating nonprofits.
