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 kicked off our fundraising for this summer on Wednesday, Feb. 22, with an envelope in the Arizona Daily Star. Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send up to 700 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 463 donations totaling $69,743, or just over 30 percent of our goal, with camps starting in about a month.
