Bob Goen joined Entertainment Tonight
in April 1993 as a correspondent and
weekend anchor, and was tapped as
substitute anchor shortly thereafter.
On May 31, 1996, he took his place along
with Mary Hart as anchor until he
retired from the show in 2004.
Bob has been a great supportor of the
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Colorado,
which grants the wishes of local

illnesses, through the annual celebrity
golf tournament that bears his name.
He established the Bob Goen’s Children’s
Charities, a national organization that
raises funds for various national and
local children’s charities in 2003.
Bob
spoke with Editor-in-Chief Gary Barg to
discuss his charitable work and
his life as a family caregiver.
Gary Barg:
Can you tell me about how you
became involved in so many
different charitable causes?
Bob Goen: I
have been raising money for a
golf tournament in Colorado for
the Make-A-Wish Foundation in
Colorado for many years. In 2004
I started a new golf tournament,
raising money for the Bob Goen’s
Children’s Charities. We also
raised funds for Make-A-Wish and
for the KIM Foundation, an
organization that deals with
abused kids and educates their
parents, and then for a group
called the Successive Six in
Vale Valley, Colorado where they
deal with after-school care for
at-risk kids...continued

Pediatric Psychologist

challenged, or who suffer from learning difficulties

the process, actually show them disrespect....continued

Carenotes

I am currently caring for my fiancé who has an SSI case
pending. I have two daughters and he has one who stays with
us three to five days out of the week. He is not able to
work and I only have a part-time job while going to school
full-time online. I am trying to find the right people to
talk to about getting assistance and becoming his permanent
chore services provider/caregiver. He has no current doctor
because he does not have health insurance, so he goes to CNS
in Pontiac, Michigan for his treatments. We both have open
DHS cases and receive food; I get medical and child care for
my children.
It is not currently possible for me to
meet all the requirements needed by my children and my
fiancé with me working outside of the home. If you could
help me with the information I need, or direct me to the
right people, I would highly appreciate it. Thank you for
your time.
