Organizations Program Service Accomplishments Part III, line 28:The organization produces and directs high school basketball tournaments in cooperation with and in the facilities of Mansfield Independent School District. The largest portion of our funding is a grant from the City of Mansfield Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund. The remainder of the funding is from corporate sponsorship and sales. Sales include tournament admissions, T-shirts and programs. We have contracted with a name sponsor, Spring Creek Barbecue. We distribute a portion of the proceeds from the tournament to other local tax exempt organizations in exchange for their participation in hosting the tournament. Those organizations are local organzitions that have already been involved in teh tournament in the past, including the Rotary Club and the MISD Athletic Booster Clubs. They provide gate personnel and venue coordinators and they maintain hospitality rooms at the venues. We have a schedule of payments to them based upon the number of games that they host and a flat amount for hospitality rooms. The funds are used by those organizations for their local charitable purposes.There were two tournaments held in 2016, the Spring Creek Classic (Boys)held December 29-30, 2016 and the Spring Creek Barbeque Invitational (Girls) held December 2-5, 2016.
