BACKGROUND

For the past eleven years, the Garden Grove Community Foundation (GGCF) and the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce (Commerce) have partnered to plan and coordinate a golf tournament fundraiser known as the GGCF/Chamber of Commerce Golf Classic.  This event is one of the largest and most significant Fundraisers for both organizations. Funds raised help support GGCF annual events and also assist the Chamber in promoting the Garden Grove business community and providing resources for tourists who visit Garden Grove.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

None.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Approve the use of Willowick Golf Course on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, for the 12th annual GGCF/Chamber Golf Classic.
