Council approves charitable-gaming recognition for Motor City Youth Development
Summary
Frasier City Council passed a local-resolution required by state regulators so Motor City Youth Development can apply for charitable gaming (raffles and charity poker nights) to fund youth hockey team costs.
Frasier City Council approved a local governing-body resolution recognizing Motor City Youth Development as a nonprofit for the purposes of obtaining a charitable-gaming license.
Representatives Vaughn and Nate described the nonprofit and its Motor City Aces youth-hockey program based at Frasier Big Boy Arena, explaining they plan raffles and charity poker nights to reduce costs for families and support teams that compete locally and internationally. Council member Baransky moved to approve the state-required resolution and the council passed the motion by voice vote.
Ending: Vaughn and Nate said the group is completing state application paperwork and expects to start fundraising as soon as the license process is completed; council wished them luck.
