The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and active-military families can attend summer camp at little or no cost to their families.
Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 44,007 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501(c )(3) charities in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and one of the most efficient, with 97 cents from every dollar going to send kids to camp.
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. Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send more than 500 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 547 donations totaling $99,998.57, or 44 percent of our goal.
Many all of these donations were in response to the envelope placed in Star in February. More donations will be published in the coming week. Your contribution to the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp Fund qualifies for the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ tax credit for donations to qualifying charitable organizations. Our code is 20450. We do not share our donors’ names.
