A match made in heaven! We at The Entertainment Foundation have found a match made in heaven by bringing professional entertainers to our veterans, senior adults, and vulnerable individuals wherever they may be! The magic begins when the music and entertainment starts. The attendees’ eyes light up and the positive energy flows between the professional performer and his/her audience. Lives are changed.

Ken Goodman grew up a military brat, traveling the world courtesy of the US Air Force. After graduating high school in the Republic of the Philippines, Ken returned to his roots in Arkansas where he attended Henderson State University on a vocal performance scholarship, graduating with a degree in communications. For 20 years Ken served in various church capacities but later transitioned to professional entertainment receiving many accolades. Today, Ken can be found on stages in Arkansas and around the country in one of several capacities: musical theatre, one-man shows, and master of ceremonies. Ken believes in The Entertainment Foundation because he has always loved and admired the senior adult population and the US Military. His father and sister are USAF (ret.) and his younger brother, a fighter pilot, currently commands the “fightin’est” Air Force Base in the nation.
