RECOMMENDATION
Council review the full Chase Hawks Memorial Association (CHMA) Economic Impact Analysis attached to this staff memo.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
In September of 1994, a six-year-old Montana cowboy, Chase Hawks, was killed in a tragic accident. Family and friends gathered to form the Chase Hawks Memorial Association with the goal of helping others facing crisis situations so something positive could come from the loss they felt.
The Foundation’s annual fundraising effort is anchored in volunteer events including the Annual Rough Stock Rodeo, and the Labor Day weekend “Burn the Point” parade and car show. These events, combined with the Foundation’s annual expenditures, produce a significant local economic impact. The full Chase Hawks Memorial Association (CHMA) Economic Impact Analysis is attached.
