The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and active military families in Southern Arizona can attend summer camp on scholarships funded by Star readers.
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 with special needs.
We officially kicked off our 2025 camp fundraising drive March 5 with a donation envelope in the Arizona Daily Star. Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send at least 500 kids to overnight camp. We are continuing to tally donations we received in those envelopes in the first few days after the envelope appeared.
Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 44,391 children to go to camp. 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.
