As the year comes to an end, we again thank the 1,604 readers, families and businesses who donated to the Arizona Daily Star’s Sportsmen’s Fund in 2017.
Thanks to you, 647 local boys and girls were able to go to weeklong overnight camp last summer at a cost of $207,757.
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 Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 40,070 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501c(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient in our giving, with 98 cents of every dollar going to send kids to camp.
