Council waives permit fee for June nonprofit fundraiser supporting Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome
Summary
A local nonprofit fundraiser proposed for South Park on June 27 had its special-event permit fee waived by the council after organizers explained the event's charitable purpose, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society and the Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Foundation.
An organizer identified as Mary Alice presented a special-event permit request on April 16 for a nonprofit fundraising fair at South Park on Saturday, June 27 (setup 10:00 a.m.; event 12:00–5:00 p.m.) with wristband-access activities and a bake sale. Proceeds were described as benefiting the American Cancer Society and the Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome Foundation; the organizer explained a personal connection to cancer and a desire to support patients and reduce mortality.
Councilwoman Melanie Allen moved to waive the special-event permit fee for the nonprofit fundraiser; Councilman Alex Espinosa seconded and the motion carried unanimously. Staff will verify park availability and confirm scheduling before finalizing the event.
