The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and military families can attend summer camp at little or no cost to their families.
Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 43,468 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501 (c )(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient, with 97 cents from every dollar going to send kids to camp.
This is our 76th year of raising money to help local boys and girls do more and be more. We kicked off this year’s fundraising on Feb. 22 with a front-page story and an envelope inside the paper. So far, we’ve raised $49,954 thanks to generous Arizona Daily Star readers.
Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send up to 700 local boys and girls to camp. Most of the 314 donors we are thanking today responded to that appeal.
