The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and active military families in Southern Arizona can attend summer camp on scholarships funded by Star readers.
We send local kids to weeklong YMCA, Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) and Girl Scout overnight camps, as well as overnight camping at Camp Tatiyee for school-age children with special needs.
Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send at least 500 kids to overnight camp. So far, we’ve received 730 donations totaling 169,196.77, or just over 75% of our goal.
Credit-card donations and details on the camps we sponsor: azsendakidtocamp.org
Send checks, payable to Sportsmen’s Fund, to: Send a Kid to Camp, P.O. Box 16141, Tucson, AZ 85732-6141
