Mad scramble fundraiser raises about $5,000 for Blue Lake bike and skate park
Summary
Commissioners were told a recent event raised approximately $5,000 in donations and sponsorships; the group plans to give the funds to the city and direct them to the skate-park account.
Organizers reported that the recent "Mad scramble" fundraising event raised about $5,000 that will be donated to the city for the bike and skate park. "We made about $5,000," the organizer said, and commissioners agreed to coordinate presenting the check to city council so funds go directly to the skatepark account.
The organizer credited local corporate and community sponsors for the proceeds, naming a local electricians' union and Coast Central among contributors and noting raffle sales also added to the total. Commissioners discussed ensuring the donation and account routing are clear so the money will be used for the bike-and-skate park as intended.
No formal acceptance or budget appropriation was recorded at the meeting; the organizers said they will bring a physical check to the city council when that step is ready.
