About the Committee

The Lost Dutchman Days Committee is a partnership made up of two primary entities. Superstition Mountain Promotional Corporation and AJ Mounted Rangers. Both non-profit organizations are membership-based and carry IRS 501-C classification.

The Committee involves many organizations taking the role in a variety of operations, involving their members and volunteers. This concept provides the manpower and input of many to plan and promote this event to make it rewarding, and successful for the Apache Junction Community as a whole.

Proceeds from the event are put back into the Community by donations to those youth-serving organizations that make Lost Dutchman Days a success and fulfilling our purpose of "Putting Smiles on Kid’s Faces."
