It takes the generosity of our community to provide no-cost programming to families affected by childhood cancer. 

In addition to the fundraising events that The Goodtimes Project puts on, we are also supported by businesses, groups, and individuals in our community. Their philanthropy ensures we have the funding to keep our programs moving forward now and into the future.

Tacoma Firefighters Ball

The ladies and gentlemen who make up the Tacoma Firefighters get gussied up and celebrate another year of service and life with an annual ball. The event has dancing, dinner, and auctions, and a portion of their proceeds go to the charity of their choice. The Goodtimes Project has been the recipient the last three years, in addition to them revving up our Camp Goodtimes golf carts with new paint jobs, chrome, and lights.

NECA Wired for Birdies golf tournament

A fun-filled day on the course where good swings and good times come together for a great cause. Now in its third year, this event proudly supports The Goodtimes Project. A little friendly competition that helps make a lasting difference, one swing at a time.

Starfire Sports Xtreme cup

Soccer or football, you decide what to call it, but this event invites local, youth soccer teams to participate in a tournament where a portion of every team's sign-up fee gets donated to The Goodtimes Project. In addition, teams are encouraged to create their own fundraisers to raise even more money. Starfire believes participation in soccer can shape the lives of those who play, making a difference both on and off the field. 

Dory’s dinner

Hosted by Carmen “Ponyo” Garringer, Dory’s Dinner honors the life of beloved volunteer Jessica “Dory” Naehu. Each year, a circle of friends gathers to celebrate Dory’s memory while raising funds for Camp Goodtimes. This heartfelt tradition reflects the joy, connection, and lasting impact Dory brought to our community, helping ensure more families can experience the magic of camp.
