The Arizona Daily Star's Sportsmen's Fund Send a Kid to Camp program raises money so children from low-income households and military families can attend overnight YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout and Camp Courage burn camps.
We kicked off our fund drive last month with an envelope in the paper. More than 300 people have already responded. Our goal is to raise $170,000 to send 770 kids to weeklong overnight camps this summer. Donations are welcome throughout the year.
Your contribution is tax-deductible, qualifying for the state's working-poor charitable tax credit of up to $400.
The Sportsmen's Fund is one of the oldest 501(c)(3) charities in Southern Arizona and was founded in 1947.
Since then, thanks to Arizona Daily Star readers, we have helped to pay for 35,869 children to go to camp.
