Camp Good Days and Special Times is a non-profit corporation that was established in 1980 to help improve the quality of life for children with cancer and their families. Camp Good Days is changing the face of childhood cancer treatment. Its methods and programs have served as models for pediatric oncology units across the country and the world. Since its founding, Camp Good Days has expanded to provide many different programs for people whose lives have been affected by this disease. Camp Good Days also sponsors a program for children who have a parent or sibling with AIDS. Because of its nature, the camp is in constant need of money and support. It is for this and the many excellent programs it offers that BMAR continues to choose Camp Good Days as our Community Service fund-raising program. BMAR began supporting Camp Good Days in 1988 with the encouragement of Mark Engel, board president. BMAR was recognized and awarded the 1990 Community Service Award from the NYS Association of Realtors for its community service programs including support of the camp in 1990 raising over $3,000. In 2010, over $22,000 was contributed by members. Unlike many charities, Camp Good Days has no national affiliation or sponsor organization to fund it; it has no foundation or corporation that serves as a major benefactor and it receives no government funding. The camp relies solely on the contributions and donations from generous and concerned individuals and organizations. For this fact, BMAR solicits contributions from the members and friends of the Association each year. Contributors to Camp Good Days are recognized in the Realtor & Business Newsletter. Since Camp Good Days was incepted in 1979, it has served more than 41,000 campers from 22 states and 25 foreign countries. No camper has ever been turned away due to financial reasons, as all programs and services are provided free of charge for the participants.
