Organizers seek street closures and malt-beverage sales for ‘Celebrates for a Cause’ fundraising weekend in Cody
Summary
Organizers of the fifth annual Celebrates for a Cause presented event plans to Cody council, requesting temporary street closures on Tenth Street and Beck Avenue, permission to sell malt beverages in the park, and described a $5,000 scholarship donation plus direct aid for cancer patients.
Organizers of the fifth annual Celebrates for a Cause presented event plans to the Cody City Council on April 28 and requested temporary street closures and permission to sell malt beverages during the family event.
The organizers said the fundraiser will include a week of activities — youth baseball and basketball camps, rodeo appearances, a golf tournament and banquet — culminating in “Celebrities in the Park,” with live music, bounce houses and vendors. They asked the city to close Tenth Street from Sheridan to Beck Avenue and Beck Avenue from Tenth to Eighth Street for pedestrian use during the park event. They also requested authorization to sell malt beverages in the park during the event.
Event organizers said they will donate $5,000 to a high-school scholarship for students pursuing teaching careers and that remaining funds will go to the Bighorn Cancer Center, earmarked for direct financial assistance to patients (gas, bills and similar needs) rather than an institutional donation. Organizers described ticketing options, wristbands for park activities and a banquet with table and single-ticket prices; staff and organizers named Ryan Brown as a contact at the rec center for tickets.
Council members asked clarifying logistical questions about tickets and how to obtain them; no formal council action was recorded on the item during the meeting. Mayor Leanne Bridal thanked the organizers for the event.
