Fundraising dinner, auction to benefit kids with cancer

The Good Times for Goodtimes Wine Auction will be held on Saturday, March 28, at the Harbor Club in Bellevue. The annual fundraiser benefits Camp Goodtimes West, a week-long medically supervised camp for children experiencing cancer or with a history of cancer. The auction raises money to help ensure every child attending Camp Goodtimes can do so free-of-charge. Last summer the programs accommodated 243 campers.

The auction also supports the Cancer Survivor College Scholarship Program, which fosters a network and support system for students, and awards eligible enrolled or college-bound students $2,500 per academic year, up to $10,000 per student. Eight students received scholarships last year.

The Goodtimes Wine Auction begins at 5 p.m. with wine tastings from award-winning West Coast wineries, including Cosentino Winery, Horan Estates, and Alexandria Nicole Cellars. Chris Camarda, of Andrew Will Winery, will serve as Honorary Wine Chair. Harbor Club Chef David Theirry will prepare a dinner, which will be paired with Andrew Will wines. Festivities will include a live auction, raffle and paddle raise.
