Council approves $500 sponsorship for Changemakers 3‑on‑3 youth tournament
Summary
The council approved a $500 sponsorship to Changemakers to support a 3‑on‑3 basketball tournament and related youth‑travel fundraising, intended to underwrite trips and enrichment for local children.
The City Council approved a $500 community sponsorship for Changemakers, a local grassroots organization that runs youth programs and holds a 3‑on‑3 basketball tournament aimed at fundraising for trips and youth enrichment. Pastor Marco King and other Changemakers representatives described the group’s goal of taking children from the Imperial Valley to regional educational and recreational destinations that many families cannot afford.
Changemakers requested different sponsorship levels; council members discussed and approved the mid‑level $500 sponsorship. The motion passed with three council votes in favor and one recorded as not‑specified on the record (transcript recorded the motion as “Motion passes 3 with 1”). Staff will process the sponsorship from the city’s community sponsorship budget.
