For the past 15 years, the Garden Grove
Community Foundation (GGCF) and the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce (Chamber)
have partnered to host the GGCF/Chamber Golf Classic. This event is the largest and most
significant fundraiser for both organizations and helps support GGCF events, including the free summer concert series, Winter in the Grove, Buena Clinton Family Resource Center Holiday Toy Drive and various
community groups, as well as
assisting the Chamber in promoting the Garden Grove business community and
providing resources for tourists who visit Garden Grove. Due to COVID, last year's tournament was cancelled. |

| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The non-profit rate for an all-day tournament with 144 players is $4,320. GGCF and the Chamber are requesting this fee be waived. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Consider the attached letter requesting the one-day use and fee waiver of the Willowick Golf Course for the GGCF/Chamber Golf Classic on Wednesday, September 29, 2021.
