BACKGROUND
In October 2015, the City Council established a $25 fee for non-resident youth sports participants to be assessed on all non-profit youth sports organizations that use City Parks & Recreation facilities.

Since 2016 the program has collected $262,403 in the Public Donations Fund. Subsequently, the Wade Brummal Scholarship Program (Program) has approved 28 grants in the amount of $148,740 and spent $52,098 on field equipment. The current balance of funds available for disbursement is $61,565.
