It is proposed that the City Council approve a one-time way of the site reservation, facility amenity, sales and
admission fees($120.00)for the Snowball Express for the September 27,2014 First Annual Snowball Express 5k in
Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
Since 2006,the mission of Snowball Express is to provide hope and new happy memories to the children of military
fallen heroes who have died while on active duty since 9/11. Children are brought together from all over the world for
a four-day experience in December. The First Annual Snowball Express 5k in Fort Worth is scheduled for September
27,2014 at Trinity Park to raise funds for the nonprofit organization. All proceeds from the run will benefit the
mission in supporting the children of fallen military heroes at the annual gathering this December in Fort Worth.
The City of Fort Worth has a long military history as home to the Joint Naval Air Station that continues to connect Fort
Worth to its military heritage. In addition,the City Council has supported the troops by providing salary replacement for
employees who are activated as reservists in recent global conflicts. This event serves a public purpose by furthering this
tradition by supporting troops that serve our country and keep our community safe. All activities for the run will be in
compliance with the City's rules and regulations which put in place adequate controls to carry out such public purpose.
