Organizers propose banner sales and online donations to fund scholarships
Summary
Speakers suggested selling field banners and adding an option during online registration for families to donate to a scholarship fund, with a parks-board committee managing allocations.
Speakers proposed revenue mechanisms to keep youth sports affordable, such as selling banners on the fields and adding a voluntary donation option during online registration to seed a scholarship fund. A parks-board committee would review applications and allocate full or partial scholarships to families in need.
A participant said that when Springville started a similar fund many registrants donated and that the fund has been used as available; organizers said the parks-and-rec staff would manage the fund and a committee would review scholarship requests.
