Youth council discusses spring golf tournament fundraiser at city golf course
Summary
Council reviewed a proposal to host a spring golf tournament at the city golf course to raise funds for scholarships or other causes; members discussed logistics and fundraising ideas and will return with proposed dates and cost breakdowns.
Council members discussed a proposal to host a spring golf tournament at the city golf course as a fundraiser to support scholarships or another selected cause. The proposal is conceptual; council members provided input on timing, fundraising methods and possible participant outreach.
Why it matters: a successful tournament could generate funds for youth scholarships, strengthen community partnerships and give council members a visible fundraising role in the community.
The presenter said the tournament location would be the city’s main golf course and the date is to be determined; staff agreed to check the golf-course calendar and return with available dates at the next meeting. Possible revenue sources discussed included registration fees, sponsorships, concessions and raffles. Staff noted the golf course operates a full concession and kitchen and that concessions at past events have contributed materially to fundraising totals.
Members suggested adding a drink cart or raffle baskets and using tournament registration fees to seed prize pools. The presenter said staff would prepare a cost- and revenue-breakdown for the council to review at the next meeting, and indicated the council could participate in the tournament if members wished.
Next steps: staff to confirm available dates at the city golf course and prepare a cost breakdown, proposed registration fees and a fundraising plan for the council to consider at a future meeting.
