| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
For the past 17 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 help support GGCF events including the free summer concert series, Winter in the Grove, 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. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Willowick is owned by the City and the City Council has traditionally granted joint use of the golf course to the GGCF and Chamber for the annual golf classic fundraiser. The request was for September 20, 2023; however, there is a scheduling conflict and the date will be determined. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The non-profit rate for an all-day tournament with 144 players is $4,320. The GGCF and the Chamber are requesting this fee to be waived. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council consider the attached letter requesting the one-day use of the Willowick Golf Course for the GGCF/Chamber Golf Classic on a date to be determined in September 2023.
