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 are proud to lead. We need your help. Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send at least 500 kids to weeklong YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout overnight camps and Camp Tatiyee, for school-age children with special needs.
You can use today’s envelope or send donations to Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund, Send a Kid to Camp, P.O. Box 16141, Tucson, AZ 85732-6141, or go to azsendakidtocamp.org to donate with a credit card. Your contribution qualifies for the Arizona tax credit for donations to qualifying charitable organizations. You can give up to $841 until April 15 for tax year 2023 and anytime this year up to $938 for your 2024 taxes.
Since 1947, the Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 44,007 children to go to camp or have a camping experience. We’re one of the oldest 501(c )(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient, with 97 cents from every dollar going to send kids to camp.
