TO: Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation
FROM: Kevin McArdle, Community Services Director
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF SPONSORSHIP OF VOLUNTEERS FOR THE INLAND
EMPIRE OPEN TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 22—28, 2003
RECOMMENDATION:
To approve sponsorship for 20 volunteers to assist with the upcoming Inland Empire Open scheduled
for September 22-28, 2003, at the Empire Lakes Golf Course.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past three years the Inland Empire Open (formerly called the State Farm Open) provided a
generous donation of $5,000 per year to the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation from the
proceeds from their event. In exchange for this donation, the Foundation was requested to provide
manpower support in the way of volunteers to assist with the wide variety of tasks associated with the
event.
Volunteers for the Open are required to pay a fee to participate. This year the fee is $39.00 per
individual. This fee helps to offset a small portion of the actual costs of the event. so that the
Tournament charities, e.g., the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation, Rancho Cucamonga
Public Library Foundation, Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, Assistance League of Upland
and the Feed the Hungry, Shelter the Homeless will benefit as much as possible.
It is staffs recommendation that the Foundation Board approve, once again to underwrite the cost for
a maximum of twenty volunteers to assist with this event.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost to the Foundation to underwrite 20 volunteers is seven hundred and eighty dollars ($780.00).
