Council approves Junior City Council pickleball tournament to benefit Rotary Youth Club
Summary
The council approved a Junior City Council request to host a community pickleball tournament with proceeds to go to the Rotary Youth Club (a 501(c)(3)); staff will finalize facility‑use agreements and logistics.
Fairhope — The Fairhope City Council on Feb. 9 approved a request from the Junior City Council to host a community pickleball tournament and donate proceeds to the Rotary Youth Club.
"I'm the president, Camille Hausman," said the student presenter and asked the council to approve the event, describing it as a "positive family friendly opportunity" to boost civic engagement and raise funds for the Rotary Youth Club. Council members asked questions about the proposed date, site availability and whether funds would be routed directly to the Rotary Youth Club (501(c)(3)).
Staff confirmed the tournament could proceed through the city’s facilities‑use process, and the council amended the event language to specify proceeds to the Rotary Youth Club before voting to approve the request. The approval included direction that staff prepare appropriate facility‑use agreements and that organizers work with city departments on logistics.
Next steps: staff to draft and present a facilities‑use agreement and logistics checklist for the tournament organizers.
