Trivia Contest Fund Raiser: Radio Station
KCMA 98.5 FM Cool Mountain Radio sponsors a charity
Trivia Contest every Friday, benefiting local
charities. Every Friday morning participants call
in to answer trivia questions. Cash is donated to
that week’s charity based on the number of callers.
The Mazatzal Casino/Tonto Apache Tribe is the major
underwriter for these cash awards. Already this
year the Casino/Tribe has funded more than $14,000
in awards! Cool Mountain Radio contributes an
additional 10%. You can check out details of this
program online at
www.coolmountainradio.com.
The
Friends of Payson Parks and Recreation, Inc. was the
beneficiary charity on March 16th and raised more
than $300 in the 30 minute show. Many of our
callers have gone on to participate regularly in the
weekly program to support other local charities.
The efforts of the Tonto Apache Tribe and Cool
Mountain Radio are to be commended for this program.
Community Chest Golf Tournament: The Rim Golf
Club and The Golf Club at Chaparral Pines have
initiated a very successful fund raising event for
the community of Payson. In May of this year the
first Community Chest Golf Tournament was held at
The Rim Golf Club. Six local charities solicited
community members to participate in the tournament
as either golfers or tee sponsors. More than
$20,000 was raised for those six local charities.
The Friends of Payson Parks and Recreation, Inc.
will be one of the participating charities in the
next tournament, to be held at The Golf Club at
Chaparral Pines, on Saturday, November 10, 2007.
Each golfer pays $250 to enter the tournament; $200
of the fee goes directly to the charity who
solicited that golfer’s participation. The golf
club retains the remaining $50 to cover green fees,
cart fees, lunch for all participants and an
elaborate after golf celebration at the club house.
It is also anticipated there will be a silent
auction at the post-golf party to raise additional
funds. Each participant may bring a non-golfing
guest to the party. And additional guests may pay a
small fee to participate. So mark your calendars
for a special day of golf -- tax-deductible and a
great benefit to our organization -- on Saturday,
November 10th. Contact Sharon Strople for entry
