The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp is proud to thank another 30 individuals, organizations and businesses for donating $4,840 to help send kids to camp.
Our goal is to raise $190,000 to send 650 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 1,232 donations totaling $156,635, or $33,365 shy of our goal.
Additional donations have been received and are being tallied.
Last year, 647 local boys and girls were able to go to weeklong overnight summer camp 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.
