Donate today to help send kids to camp

Please join the Arizona Daily Star in helping local children. Today’s Star includes an envelope you can use to mail checks so children from low-income or military families can go to camp for little or no cost.

Each year, readers give generously to help the Star send kids to camp. It’s a tradition we’re proud to lead.

We need your help. Our goal is to raise $180,000 to send 670 kids to YMCA and Boy Scout and Girl Scout overnight camps.

In 2015, we received 1,515 donations totaling $175,162 — including $6,555 donated in December — and spent $166,457 to send 621 local boys and girls to overnight camp.

Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for more than 37,907 children to go to camp. It is one of the oldest 501(c)(3) charities in Arizona. Your contribution qualifies for the Arizona tax credit of up to $400 for donations to qualifying charitable organizations.
