Oftentimes, the professional athletes who are truly positive life models for our youth, are overshadowed by the negative actions and decisions of their colleagues (steroid use; excessive drinking; drug use; etc), however, there have been a number of professional athletes who not only are positive life models, but who over the years, have gone above and beyond to help provide some good days and special times for the children and families served by Camp Good Days and Special Times.
Steve Christie, Scott Norwood, Danny Briere, John Calipari, and Jim Boeheim, just to name a few, are all not only exceptional players or outstanding coaches in their respective sports, but all of them are people whom we at Camp Good Days are proud to call our friends.
Each of those noted above has given not only their financial contributions, which help Camp Good Days to provide all of our programs and services, which are offered free of charge for the participants, but each of them has given of their personal time to be a part of Camp Good Days’ special fundraising events, such as the Tournament of Love Celebrity Golf Scramble; the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, Auction & Dinner; and the Buffalo Creative Black Tie Gala. In addition, some of them have taken the time to visit Camp Good Days’ Recreational Facility, spending time with the campers and seeing firsthand what they have helped to make possible. They have also contributed their services and expertise with game tickets; artwork; and special activities for our campers.
Steve Christie, Scott Norwood, Danny Briere, John Calipari, Jim Boeheim, and others who have given of their time and love to the children of Camp Good Days are some of the few professional athletes who understand that many people, especially children, are watching their every move and they take that very seriously. They are professionals, making the right choices, doing the right thing, and providing a positive role model for our youth.
