TO PUEBLO FRIENDS OF THE ARKANSAS RIVER IN THE AMOUNT
OF $300 TO SPONSOR THE TROUT ON THE ROUTE FUNDRAISER
SUMMARY:
Attached for consideration is a request for support of Pueblo Friends of the Arkansas
River (PFAR) in the amount of $300 to sponsor the Trout on the Route Fundraiser.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
While this is a new fundraiser, Council has supported Pueblo Friends of the Arkansas
River in the past.
BACKGROUND:
"Trout on the Route" will raise money to help support the mission of the Pueblo Friends
of the Arkansas River, a nonprofit. The money raised will help fund cleanups of the
Arkansas River, the trail and the Runyon Lake area, sponsor events such as fishing
lessons for kids, add amenities to the river trail. PFAR also sponsors the Summer and
Winter Solstice Lantern Parades.
Sponsors and artists will be paired up to create a piece of art on 36-inch or 24-inch
aluminum cutout of a trout. Creative minds will paint scenes or of people or other
animals on the trout and/or glue or welded on objects. The artwork will be auctioned off
to the highest bidder in late June.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds in the amount of $300 would be paid from the Council Contingencies Account in
the 2023 General Fund Budget to the Pueblo Friends of the Arkansas River.
