The Fairhope Junior City Council reported to the full council that its Bruce Cuddy Pickleball Tournament raised $1,119 for the Rotary Youth Club. Camille Hosman, president of the Junior City Council, said the event drew 30 players after a rain delay and raised roughly $600 in participation fees with the remainder from donations; a corporate donor, Tony's Towing, Inc., was singled out.
"We were able to fundraise about $1,119," Hosman said, and the students described using refreshments, a snow-cone vendor and volunteer help from city recreation staff. Council members and the mayor's office thanked the students, handed out cords and commemorative cups to seniors, and reminded residents that applications for the next Junior City Council term are open.
The presentation highlighted youth civic engagement and local nonprofit support; no council action was required.
