About the organization
The Fly High Goose foundation was started to honor the life of Goose Johnson, a Baldwin County resident who died in a car accident in January 2019. Only a few months shy of his college graduation, Johnson was passionate about the outdoors and loved hunting and fishing.
The organization began as a way to keep Johnson's legacy alive by giving back to the community and inspiring and enriching the lives of local youth who share Johnson's love for the outdoors.
