The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp is proud to thank another 92 individuals, organizations and businesses for donating $9,533 to help send kids to 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.
Our revised goal is to raise $220,000 to help send up to 700 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 1,472 donations totaling $190,237.
On Monday, with two weeks left in the YMCA’s camp season, 22 boys and girls were on a wait list for overnight camp.
Huy Lu, associate executive director of Triangle Y Ranch Camp, asked for an additional $9,532 and the Sportsmen’s Fund board approved it to make sure those children could go to camp.
