The ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp continues to thank individuals, organizations and businesses for their donations to help send kids to camp.
Our goal is to raise $220,000 to help send up to 700 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 1,498 donations totaling $193,277.
The ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and military families can attend overnight YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout camps and Camp Tatiyee — for school-age children and older teens with special needs — at little or no cost to their families.
Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 40,070 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501(c)(3) charities in ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ and one of the most efficient; with 98 cents of every dollar going to send kids to camp. Your contribution qualifies for the ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ tax credit of up to $800 for donations to qualifying charitable organizations.
