SAN XAVIER MISSION SCHOOL

&

YMCA TRIANGLE Y RANCH CAMP
  

In 2000, Angel Charity funded San Xavier for $400,000 for the expansion and renovation of their 152 year old school.  each grade is to have its own classroom, thus improving the learning experience and academics for the children.

 

Along with the traditional academic program, San Xavier Mission School stresses Native American culture and language.  San Xavier serves primarily, but not exclusively, the Native American Community.  The entire school is extremely crowded with three of the classrooms having double grades.

 

The YMCA Triangle Y Ranch Camp has been serving Tucson since 1949 with summer camping and outdoor education programs for children.  They serve more under-privileged children at Camp than any other YMCA Camp in the country.

Also in 2000, Angel Charity raised $335,000 for the building of five Camp Cabins (each sleep 20 children and two staff) and a bathroom/shower house.  This will allow the facilities to serve an additional 450 children each summer and over 4,000 children each year-round program.
