Thanks to Star readers, all girls on waiting lists for Girl Scout camp can attend overnight camp this summer.

In fact, because of your generosity we have surpassed our original goal and are able to send 122 girls on a waiting list to Scout camp this summer. This brings the total to at least 842 sponsored children able to attend summer camp. This year, 1,392 donations totaling $221,684 have been tallied.

Send a Kid to Camp raises money so children from low-income households 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.

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.
