Youth Council reports $8,867 in hand and multiple commitments as it plans DeLand summit trip
Summary
Council leaders reported $8,867.31 in hand for an upcoming FLC Youth Council Summit trip and several additional pledged donations (multiple $1,700 commitments), bringing committed totals near $17,000 toward a stated $20,000 goal; members discussed registration, chaperones and travel logistics.
The Cape Coral Youth Council reviewed travel logistics and fundraising progress Oct. 10 as it prepares to attend the Florida League of Cities (FLC) Youth Council Summit in DeLand.
Council leaders said the trip will depart after the November meeting and return Saturday evening; members discussed hotel registration, air‑fare and the need to confirm attendees and chaperones. The council reported $8,867.31 in hand from a GoFundMe, radio show proceeds and event cash; several donors had pledged additional funds, including multiple $1,700 commitments the fundraising lead said could push committed totals above $17,000. The council stated a fundraising target of $20,000.
Members were advised to confirm attendance as soon as possible so organizers can secure hotel rooms and registration. The chair and staff said they will contact donors and produce a consolidated accounting; chaperones were discussed and at least one parent volunteered to chaperone if needed.
Next steps: organizers will confirm a head count, proceed with hotel registrations when registration opens, and continue fundraising to meet the council’s stated goal.
