Title
DECA and Youth Commission Spikeball Fundraiser Tournament
Body
________________________________________________________________________________
Discussion
Commissioner Ryan Agresti and the Castle View High School DECA club, in collaboration with the Castle Rock Youth Commission, are proposing a Spikeball fundraising tournament to support DECA programming while strengthening youth engagement and community partnerships. The event is designed to provide students with real-world event planning and management experience, while increasing awareness of both DECA and the Youth Commission. The purpose of this Spikeball Tournament is to raise funds to support DECA members attending Nationals and ICDC competitions. The event also promotes student engagement and community involvement.
Financial Information
The facility, equipment and marketing materials are provided free of charge by the school and Town. We are seeking concessions to be donated by the Youth Commission.
Revenue
Registration Fees are $16 per person or $32 per team. We estimate there will be 50-72 teams. The Projected registration revenue is for 50 teams $1600 and up to 72 teams for $2,304.
Expenses
We are asking the Youth Commission to donate the following: sports drinks, chips, candy, and food handling items. Concessions will have Youth Commission advertising on them and will be given to participants for free. Inventory will be purchased 1 week before the event, and receipts will be kept and reviewed after the event. No other expenses are to be expected.
Proposed Motion
Recommended Action
“I move that the Youth Commission partner with DECA on the Spikeball Fundraiser at the MAC and authorize the use of up to $300 in Youth Commission funds for concessions to be provided free to participants while promoting Youth Commission outreach at the event.”
