Argosy loves being a part of Camp Goodtimes and the American Cancer Society. Proven by the photo to the right, hundreds of kids also love being a part of this amazing organization. According to Camp Goodtimes West, “The mission of Camp Goodtimes is to provide cost-free, medically supervised program for children with cancer, on or off treatment, and a sibling ages 7-17. The philosophy of our program is summed up in the name “Goodtimes”… for our campers to have fun.”
Every year, Argosy generously donates a boat to the campers for the sole purpose of having fun. Deemed the National Cancer Sucks Day, an Argosy boat full of cancer kids and their siblings cruised into the dock at Pier 55 on Tuesday, June 29. Captain Mooselips and the Mariner Moose jumped on board to join in on the singing, dancing and French fry throwing (thank you Red Robin!) on this beautiful sunny afternoon.
There was not a kid without a smile on his or her face that day. Moments like this are what we love here at Argosy. Thank you Camp Goodtimes and the American Cancer Society for all that you do.
Rumor has it that July 28th is also National Cancer Sucks Day so if you’re down on the waterfront, don’t be surprised if you see or hear a boat full of kids singing and dancing to the YMCA! And by the way, make sure you watch your back for flying French fries…
