Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund at 2/3 of 2025 goal

We send local kids to weeklong YMCA, Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) and Girl Scout overnight camps, as well as overnight camping at Camp Tatiyee for school-age children with special needs.

Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send at least 500 kids to overnight camp. So far, we’ve received 626 donations totaling $152,410.65, or just over two-thirds of our goal.

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.
