What happens when campers age out of Camp Goodtimes at age 18? Plenty of fun and fellowship, that’s what! This past weekend, 15 young adult alumni (aged 18-32) participated in Goodtimes’ 2nd annual Avid Alums Retreat out on Vashon Island alongside seven wonderful volunteers. The goals of the retreat included creating opportunities for alums to create community, experience joy, and take time to relax; build interest to participate in future retreats and meetups; and offer a camp-like experience to alums who may have limitations to being on camp staff. Neither rain nor thunder could dampen our spirits as the joys of a nature walk, arts & crafts, skits/talent show, cancer journey and adulthood conversations, nerf battle and four-square, Nailed It clay competition, game and movie nights, succulent planting, minute-to-win-it games and trivia, naps, and morning yoga filled our youthful bodies and souls (along with plenty of good food and snacks). To cap it all off, we crowned the Top Banana (winner of combined games and trivia) and put together a 1,000 piece puzzle in less than 24 hours.

We look forward to hosting our next Avid Alums meetup which will occur on/around August 15! If you attended a Goodtimes-run camp, retreat, or programming as a youth and are now aged 18-35, we welcome you to join us.

Earlier this month, a group of dedicated Goodtimes supporters gathered at the 23rd Annual Goodtimes Gala to show the power of community. Together, they helped us raise over $545,000 to support our mission of spreading hope, love, and joy to families impacted by childhood cancer through cost-free camps and programs-- how amazing!

Behind the scenes, we worked with 20 sponsors and partners in order to make the event possible. We want to take another moment to thank these wonderful local business for their instrumental support. Join us in thanking Financial Insights, Kiewit, Natural Medicine of Seattle, Pillar Financial Group, Seattle Children's Hospital, United Capital, UnitedHealthcare, Walls Property Management, and Washington Law Center for showing up as our sponsors. Keep the applause going for all of our amazing partners as well, Alaska Airlines, Ambassador Wines, Efeste, Georgetown Brewing, J. Bookwalter Wines, Industry Graphics, LaShelle Wines, Rocky Pond Winery, Stocks & Stems Flowers, and Tito's Handmade Vodka!

We are so proud to work with so many caring and dedicated businesses on such an important event!

Kyra’s Hope Foundation’s founders, Alka & Gautam (Kyra’s parents), would be deeply honored to have your family join them for a day where every family walking the journey of childhood cancer is seen, is understood, and is not alone.

May 26th is Kyra’s birthday. This year, she would have turned thirteen. Kyra lived in "sparkle." She loved music, art, laughter, and the simple comfort of being together. In her spirit, Kyra’s parents are choosing something intentional: Not a day of grief - but a day of light. On May 31st, they are bringing families together to let the weight lift a little, where hospital visits feel far away, and where kids can simply be kids again.

This is a space created with care, for you. Whether your family is in treatment, stepping into survivorship, or carrying a loved one in your heart—this is a space where you don’t have to explain anything.
• Creative Courage Studio: A space to explore, play, and engage in art and imagination.
• Portrait Studio: Professional editorial photos for your family to capture a moment of togetherness.
• Connection & Community: Good food, music, dance, and the comfort of people who just "get it."

When: Sunday, May 31 | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Where: Yuan Ru Art Center, Bellevue
Cost: Free
RSVP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIN7JBvENJ53y16ddPw0ZynpQp6bcWdH9wG9Ptt_XRE_YKOQ/viewform
