Camp Good Days and Special Times Inc (Camp Good Days & Special Times)

Marcellus National Honor Society is hosting the 1st Annual CourageFest to benefit Camp Good Days & Special Times.

Camp Good Days provides programs and support services free of charge to children and families who have been affected by cancer or sickle cell anemia. 


CourageFest is a fundraising and awareness campaign for Camp Good Days that includes a series of fundraising activities leading up to the primary event - competitions, food, and fun - which will be hosted at Marcellus High School on April 3, 2020. 

"Camp Good Days is a place where children who may not have had the easiest childhood can forget about their worries for a week and just be a kid." - Charlie Gadsden, Yellow Team Dance Marathon MC

Each year, the Fayetteville-Manlius community raises thousands of dollars to benefit Camp Good Days & Special Times through our annual Dance Marathon.

The money that we raise for CGD benefits children and families who have been affected by cancer or sickle cell anemia.

Camp Good Days provides absolutely FREE programs for all participants. It costs $800.00 to send one child to Camp Good Days for a week in the summer at no cost to their family. This is where the money that we raise for camp goes.

Any donation that you make will have an impact.

Please help us reach our goal of sending over 125 children to camp in 2020!
