SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Section 3.28-3.33 of the Policies of the City Council, prior to any distribution of grant or sponsorship funds from the City Council Discretionary Funds, approval by City Council is required.
The annual Walk for Freedom event will be held on October 15, 2022. The event is free to the public and will begin on Palafox Pier and continue on for a one mile walk to raise awareness in our community about human trafficking. This is a world-wide event and will occur not only across the United States, but in other countries as well. Funding will be used to offset costs associated with the event.
The Southern Youth Sports Association provides coaching, mentoring and tutoring to inner city and at-risk youth. The 32nd Annual Soul Bowl will be held October 15, 2022 at the Pensacola Blue Wahoo’s Stadium. This event brings thousands of local parents, children and community supporters together for a fun filled day of football, entertainment and great food. This event allows many disadvantaged youths the opportunity to play football in a professional stadium. Funding will be used to help pay for operations, equipment, tutors and transportation.
