      <PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt>Sun City Tailgaters is a social club organized for the pleasure and recreation of the residents of Sun City Carolina Lakes (SCCL) and their guests. The club members have a common interest in food preparation and service to and for the SCCL residents. The club members volunteer without pay to prepare and serve food for residents to enjoy and fellowship over food. The club hosts about 100 events a year for various subgroups within the SCCL community.</PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt>
      <ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp>
        <DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>Net proceeds: Net proceeds of Tailgater events were used to fund projects benefitting other Sun City resident exempt 501(c)(7) corporations and the community in general. The organization funded the purchases of several appliances to be used by the community, including a commercial ice machine and freezer. These appliances were not going to be replaced by the HOA for several years. The club accelerated their replacement by purchasing them from our net proceeds. Since there are an average of 10 clubs or groups meeting every single day, an ice machine is essential. We provided one.</DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>

      <ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp>
        <DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>Over 600 volunteers donated about 4000 hours to prepare, cook, and serve community clubs and residents at over 100 events during 2024. An estimated 8000 meals were served by Tailgaters in 2024. When Tailgaters handle the prep and cooking and serving and cleaning up, residents can better interact with their friends and neighbors.</DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>

        <DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>The Tailgaters Club coordinated a community-wide fundraiser after Hurricane Helene devastated the community's softball, pickleball, horseshoes, gardens, disc golf etc at the amenity Waters Edge Park in Sun City Carolina Lakes (SCCL). All funds received were from residents, to be used to assist community clubs. No resident benefitted from the funds received, only community clubs. The funds collected from residents and other clubs in our SCCL community are to restore the playing fields, equipment, functionality, and appearance to pre-Helene status. Donations were voluntary. Because our Club's mission is to benefit our community, Sun City Tailgaters were uniquely prepared to oversee the restoration project. The fundraiser brought in over $25,400, and all funds received were to be used for purchases related to restoration needed at the Waters Edge Park because of the 500-year flood the community suffered. Most items and/or repairs will be completed by February 2025. The Tailgaters Club will purchase supplies and equipment etc for the affected clubs using the funds donated by the community for the community. The Tailgaters Club does not benefit itself from this fundraiser, just the community clubs in our SCCL community.</DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt>
