Total $ 15,000.00 ATTACHMENT#2 Dog Park Fund Raising Proposal For the City of Winter Springs Proposed by: Friends of Leash Optional Parks Date: March 2th, 2003 The members of the organization "Friends of Leash Optional Parks" wish to support the installation of an off leash dog park in the City of Winter Springs Florida. "Friends of Leash Optional Parks" proposes to support this effort by methods of fund raising that include, but are not limited to the following: . Holding periodic fund raising events throughout each year. . Continually selling items where the profit goes to the dog park fund. . Soliciting large organizations that support animal related non-profit organizations. The following information and estimates are based on the fund raising that was accomplished by the Sanford not for profit group "Friends of our Paw Park". This organization continues to raise funds for the Sanford Paw Park where all the profits go into a special fund established by the City of Sanford. "Friends of our Paw Park" was established as a committee early on, to raise funds for the park. The City of Sanford established a special account in their finance department, so they could collect the donations. The City is non-profit, so any monies received must go into the City fund. The City controls this account, and has the final say for any purchases for the Paw Park, and must go through the City's purchasing process. Whenever an event is held, the City must be named as co-sponsor, so any money can be collected legally. This also allows the City to waive costs associated with rental of a City park, (Insurance, Fire/Police Protection, etc.). "Friends of our Paw Park" also assists the City with the many questions that are raised in the everyday operation of the park. The group continues to work with the Parks Dept. to solve problems and discuss future enhancements for the park. Sanford receives donations throughout the year from people who support the Paw Park. Pamphlets can be found in the park with instructions on how to donate. Sanford also sells T- shirts and hats displaying the Sanford Paw Park Logo at local pet supply shops. People who donate significant amounts are recognized on a plaque that is displayed in the park. "Friends of the Paw Park" has raised over $16,500 since the park's inception. Raising $10,000 the first year by holding four events. Due to the park's overwhelming popularity and the City's increased budgeting for the facility (which provided the installation of lighting), "Friends of the Paw Park" now only host two events a year, the park's birthday party in May, and the doggie dress up at Halloween. We the members of "Friends of Leash Optional Parks" propose to emulate the efforts and methods that have been so successfully implemented by "Friends of the Paw Park" in Sanford. The proposed park in Winter Springs could increase the fund raising potential because of its unique features and location. Features such as a training area and ample parking can support various organizations such as obedience, agility and rescue groups, which will generate an on going source of revenue. At least four rescue groups and two trainers are currently interested in this facility. This location can also serve to educate and entertain the public as it can be used for various shows such as agility, Frisbee, and ground game competitions, as well as specialty breed and small show and go exhibitions. These are only a few of the potential fund raising opportunities that can be provided should this park come to fruition. "Friend of Leash Optional Parks" with the cooperation of the City of Winter Springs looks forward to exploring these and other opportunities for this much needed park.
