Benefiting The Goodtimes Project

 
At Starfire, we believe participation in soccer can shape the lives of those who play. This year’s Xtreme Cup looks to show youth players how they can make a difference through soccer both on and off the field.

For every team that registers for the Xtreme Cup, Starfire will donate $50* to The Goodtimes Project. You can also get your team directly involved, building team unity and among players while supporting a great cause and competing for exciting prizes. Learn more about The Goodtimes Project and our fundraising challenge.

Fundraising Competition

Just by signing up for the Xtreme Cup, you will help to support The Goodtimes Project through Starfire’s $50 donation*. Get more involved by starting your team’s own fundraising campaign, and you can make an even bigger difference, while also vying for some great prizes.

The Goodtimes Project was formed in late 2013 to carry on the 30-year legacy of Camp Goodtimes, and to ensure no-cost programming remained available to local families dealing with the financial and emotional costs of childhood cancer a cost-free week of summer camp. This year, The Goodtimes Project is expanding their reach beyond summer camps. 

The Goodtimes Project vision is that all families affected by childhood cancer will experience a community of hope, joy, and love. When cancer becomes your world, The Goodtimes Project creates caring spaces for local families to connect and kids to be kids, through camps, events, and programs.

The Goodtimes Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to raising money for and producing programs that support the children, siblings, and families in Western Washington and Alaska dealing with pediatric cancer. The funds raised for The Goodtimes Project via the 2017 Starfire Xtreme Cup will, in part, provide funding for local children affected by pediatric cancer to attend Starfire Academy programs.

Help these children forget about cancer for a while, and remember what it’s like to just be a kid. Together, we can make a difference through soccer!
