The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ 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.
Our goal is to raise $190,000 to send 650 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 1,202 donations totaling $151,795.
Last year, 647 local boys and girls were able to go to weeklong overnight summer camp at a cost of $207,757.
Since 1947, the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ 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 ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and one of the most efficient in our giving, with 98 cents of every dollar going to send kids to camp.
