Gonzaga Bulldogs have fun at Camp Goodtimes
Being the kid with cancer can be tough.
That’s why counselors and staff at Camp Goodtimes, which is hosted by YMCA’s Camp Reed, are working to create a space where children living with cancer, survivors and their friends and family can come and be a kid for a week.
Camp Goodtimes has been free to children who attend because of financial support from the community. The Community Cancer Fund has raised funds to permanently endow the camp.
“It’s just a time to enjoy yourself, have fun, have a good time, and no one can judge you,” said 11-year-old high-risk leukemia survivor Samantha Brown.
She was among the kids at Camp Goodtimes treated with a visit from nine members of the Gonzaga men’s basketball team/ Abby Lynes , SR. More here .
