We have volunteered at this event a number of times. I’ll say it again, there is no better way to ignite your passion for an organization than attending their Gala!
Get your tickets before they are gone!

It’s only been one week since ticket sales opened for the 21st Annual Goodtimes Gala and we are already at 50% capacity! We are thrilled by the eagerness of our community to attend this joyous event and can’t wait to gather with our generous supporters. Tickets and tables are going fast, so if you’re thinking about joining us, we encourage you to secure your spot soon!

https://www.thegoodtimesproject.org/gala

The evening begins with a two-hour reception featuring hors d’oeuvres, wine and beer tastings, an exclusive Super Silent Auction, and lively games giving you the chance to win bottles of wine. A seated program follows where you’ll enjoy a 3-course plated dinner and the opportunity to win fantastic Live Auction packages. We conclude the evening with a few words from a member of our Goodtimes community followed by the opportunity to donate generously to help us spread hope, love, and joy to families impacted by childhood cancer. Will we see you there?

Thinking about how to spend some of your summer? Learn more and see if you are a good fit!

Volunteers are the heart of Goodtimes! We couldn’t run summer camps without them. So, get ready, get set to be a part of this summer’s awesome crew of camp staff—volunteer applications go live on Monday, February 19! You give your heart to ensure kids affected by childhood cancer experience the joys of childhood, and your heart is renewed in turn by the compassion, solidarity, and silliness you help create. Volunteers must be 18+, be able to pass a background check, donate nine consecutive days (June 21-29 and/or July 12-20) if applying to Camp Goodtimes, and be good roles models.
