Help send kids from southern Arizona to camp; get an Arizona tax credit
The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises funds so children from low-income households and military families can attend summer camp at little or no cost to their families.
Since 1947, the Athlete Fund has helped pay 43,468 children to attend camp. We are one of the oldest 501(c)(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most successful, with 97 cents on every dollar spent sending children to camp.
We send local children to week-long YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout overnight camps, as well as overnight camps at Camp Tatiyee for school-aged children and older teens with special needs.
Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send up to 700 children to camp. So far, we have received 615 donations totaling $109,361 or just under half of our goal, with camps starting in June.
Your contribution qualifies for the Arizona tax credit of up to $800 for donations to qualifying charities. Our code is 20450. We do not share or sell donor information. Donations are welcome throughout the year.
