The Fresh Air Fund was a widely popular charity in the Ny Metro area. the aim was to take underprivileged youngsters two weeks away from the allegedly deleterious summer atmosphere of New York and other large city to camps and/or country retreats on farms, etc. originally the term Friendly Towns was used for temporary resettlement sites) in later days they co-opted various camps, in effect ( Camperships) akin to scholarships. They had humungous logistics problems which necessitated special one-time posters for locations of bus departures ( Fresh Air Fund group IV) at the Port Authotity Bus terminal for example) the movement was heavily advertised and songs such as a parody on Summer In the City ( country life:s a different world!).. Give these kids two weeks away , let them see another way... than the summer in the City.. Willy Mays and others did FAF advertising. I do not know if the movement is still ative. the New York Herald Tribune was a major sponsor.

They visit volunteer host families in 13 states and Canada through the Friendly Town Program or attend Fresh Air Fund camps.

Is there a video of the fresh air fund tv commercial with Willie Mays available?
I believe yes! this popular charity had a variety of appeals in TV and other advertising and was also heavily sponsored by the now defunct New York Herald Tribune- or the Trib (never Tribe) as it was popularily called. midst the staccato of office machines the New York Herald Tribune carried the banner of the Fresh Air Fund. It is arguable the Fresh Air Fund, in theory- as it displaced the potential delinquents physically, may have had a greater impact on youth crime than, say, Little League Baseball ( which is, after all seasonal).
