CITY TO RECEIVE FUNDS, LONG-TERM RECOGNITION FROM SPORTSTOWN DESIGNATION. In addition to the Sports Illustrated Sportstown recognition the city received last January, the city will also be receiving a $5,000 check from Sports Illustrated. Use of funds has not been determined, but could be used for a children's sports program. The Sportstown recognition was part of Sports Illustrated's 50th Anniversary, and will not be repeated. As a result, Scottsdale will be Arizona's only Sportstown. Scottsdale was selected as Arizona's representative from two-hundred and fifty applications from all fifty states. Programs were judged on seven different categories including policies & procedures, philosophy, volunteer education, youth development, public facilities, community involvement, and program diversity.
