When you choose Goodman’s, you’re not just buying jewelry, you’re investing in a stronger Madison.
From major fundraisers like the American Family Children’s Hospital Radiothon to the little things like helping 500 local kids splash into summer for free, Goodman’s Jewelers has always believed that community comes first. It’s a commitment that spans generations, and in 2025, it’s more meaningful than ever.
Every Dollar Makes a Difference
Earlier this year, Goodman’s was proud to once again sponsor Mid-West Family Madison’s annual Radiothon benefiting American Family Children’s Hospital, an event we’re honored to support every single year. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, and the support of many local businesses, this year’s event raised an inspiring $493,909.51. Every donation helped fund programs that bring comfort, healing, and joy to children and families facing some of life’s toughest moments.
It’s just one example of how your support of local businesses like ours powers real change.
Buildings You Recognize. A Legacy You’ve Helped Build.

Charitable Giving That Stays Local
Goodman’s is proud to quietly support dozens of causes each year. From arts programs and youth sports teams to organizations helping families in crisis. Whether we’re contributing to major fundraisers like the American Family Children’s Radiothon and Standing Gard Against Cancer, or supporting smaller grassroots efforts, the goal is the same: give where it counts, and keep it local.
Consistent Care: The Watch Program & Beyond
If you’ve ever had a watch battery replaced at Goodman’s, you’ve seen our give-back philosophy in action. Our longtime watch program, Jewelers for Children, directs proceeds toward national causes such as St. Jude, Make A Wish, CASA, Pediatric Aids, proving that even small transactions can lead to meaningful impact.
It’s this kind of consistency, paired with big-hearted generosity, that defines who we are.
Why It Matters, Especially Now
We know now is a challenging time for many. Inflation, tariffs, and economic uncertainty are making people think twice before spending. We get it, and we want you to know that we’re right there with you.
Supporting Goodman’s isn’t just a transaction, it’s an investment in your neighbors, your city, and the places that make Madison feel like home.
So the next time you step through our doors or shop with us online, know this: you’re helping more than you think.
Thank you for helping us build something lasting. Together, we’re making Madison shine, one gift, one child, one community at a time.
