ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥

Today we are thanking another 20 readers, families and businesses who donated to the ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ Daily Star’s Sportsmen’s Fund Send A Kid to Camp in 2017.

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 ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥ Daily Star 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 in our giving, 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. Donations are welcome throughout the year.
