On weekends at Golden Eagle Park, the parking lots fill up with people excited to watch youth athletics, intramural sports and more.
But behind the scenes are hot dogs turning on the rollers, coffee brewing, registers humming, and the volunteers who show up again and again to run the concession stand.
The efforts of volunteers provide a vital funding source for the Fountain Hills Elks Youth Project, a nonprofit community foundation that awards grants to Fountain Hills Public Schools staff members, student clubs, and students. Grants are also awarded to local youth clubs, youth theater, and athletic programs, according to Elks Concession Chair Rose Troller.
