The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp continues to thank individuals, organizations and businesses for their donations to help send kids to camp.
This year, we’ve received 1,516 donations totaling $195,712.
We spent $214,979 to send 621 local boys and girls to overnight camp.
The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and military families can attend overnight YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout camps and Camp Tatiyee — for school-age children and older teens with special needs — at little or no cost to their families.
Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 40,691 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501©(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient; with 98 cents of every dollar going to send kids to camp. Your contribution qualifies for the Arizona tax credit of up to $800 for donations to qualifying charitable organizations. Donations are welcome throughout the year.
