FFG Happy Hours

FFG Happy Hours

Show up. Bring a friend. Meet the city.

Happy hours bring together new volunteers, board members, and longtime regulars all in the same room. They might be 21+ but there's never pressure to have anything other than water.  If you've ever thought about joining FFG in a leadership capacity, this is a great place to start.

Each Happy Hour rotates between neighborhood bars and restaurants across Philadelphia, often paired with one of our volunteer events. You might get a quick volunteer recap, a teaser of the next program night, or a special edition like the Jolly Trolley Holiday Tour. 

The Good Gala

BLACK AND WHITE. BIG CITY. BIGGER NIGHT.

Biennial · Early September
Union Trust · Philadelphia

The Good Gala is FFG's cornerstone event — a formal evening under the historic Union Trust dome in Center City. Cocktail hour, dinner reception, and a free flowing open bar give way to live entertainment, a silent auction, and a room full of young Philadelphians showing up for the city in their best. It embodies our Do Good, Feel Good mentality as only Philly can. 

The 2024 Gala marked FFG's 5-Year Anniversary, with offerings including GA and VIP tickets, group tables, and sponsorship opportunities featuring named signature drinks, donor recognition on entry backdrops, and more. The night was an absolute blast, and after the party, featured an official afterparty at VINYL Nightclub with DJ Ben Arsenal.

Good Gala 2026

The Good Game

Rooftop. Eagles opener. The whole city.

The Good Game is another one of FFG's fall fundraisers — in 2025, we hosted a rooftop blowout that immediately became the city's best Eagles home-opener watch party. With the skyline surrounding us, kickoff on the screens, DJ Hollywood in the house, and local food and drinks flowing freely, it was a win all around.

In its debut year, The Good Game raised $24,730 for Momma Tee's Kitchen & Food Fridges, reaching 7,200 individuals through community food access points. Can you say Go Team?!

Fitness Feeds Philly

Fitness Feeds Philly

SWEAT EQUITY. EVERY TICKET FEEDS A NEIGHBOR IN NEED.

Annual · Mid-summer
Philadelphia Museum of Art

Fitness Feeds Philly is FFG's outdoor fitness fundraiser: donation-based fitness classes led by local favorite instructors. It's something different every time, featuring classes in Yoga, HIIT, bootcamp, and dance- all beginner-friendly, and all for fun. 

The model is simple; event spaces are free to us, and fitness partners donate their time to instruct, so the dollars go straight to neighbors who need them. 100% of registration fees fund FFG's food-security programs, feeding Philadelphians.
