STAFF REPORT <br />TO:Parks & Recreation Commission <br />FROM:Bryce Shearen, CPRP, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br />DATE:August 6, 2020 <br />RE:Presentation by Ron Fulford Jr. with iBall4Life <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Ron Fulford Jr. will be at the Parks & Recreation Commission meeting to give a presentation on <br />iBall4Life and potential partnership with the City for enhancements at the Pioneer Park <br />basketball court and the possibility of a fundraising event. <br />iBall4Life was founded in 2015 by Ron Fulford Jr., who loved the game of basketball and <br />decided he wanted to build an outreach brand company of his own that will specialize in <br />reaching out to the youth and the local community. <br />The enhancements presented by Mr. Fulford will help create a new and fresh look. An updated <br />affordable facility will also encourage Little Canada youth in the neighborhood to have space to <br />practice their skills and help provide a pathway to success as they continue to grow. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff would like the Commission to provide feedback and direction on if moving forward with <br />partnering with iBall4Life and potential Pioneer Park basketball court enhancements is <br />something of interest.
