The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen's Fund Send a Kid to Camp program is proud to thank another 56 individuals, organizations and businesses for donating $6,674 to help send kids to camp.

So far, 1,037 donations totaling $144,496 are being acknowledged in the Star. Send a Kid to Camp raises money so economically disadvantaged kids can go to YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout camps, and to Camp Courage burn camp. Last year, this mission was expanded to send children whose parents or guardians are in the military to the local camps for free.

The goal is to raise $200,000 by June 1 to send at least 720 children from low-income households and from military families to camp this summer.

In 2007, the program spent $197,708 to pay for camp for 714 kids. Of those, 229 children were from military families.

Since 1947, the Sportsmen's Fund, with the support of Star readers, has raised money to help pay for more than 32,000 children to go to camp.

The Sportsmen's Fund is one of the oldest 501(c)(3) charities in Southern Arizona. At least 97 cents of every dollar spent goes to send children to camp.

Your contribution is tax- deductible and qualifies with the state of Arizona for the working-poor charitable tax credit of up to $400.
