Thanks to Arizona Daily Star readers Southern Arizona boys and girls are going to summer camp.
Debbie Kornmiller The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and military families can attend summer camp at little or no cost to their families. Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 43,468 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501 charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient, with 97 cents from every dollar going to send kids to camp.
We send local kids to weeklong YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout overnight camps, as well as overnight camping at Camp Tatiyee for school-age children and teens with special needs. Our goal is to raise $238,000 to send up to 700 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 715 donations totaling $130,413 or about 55% of our goal with camps filling up.
