  • THE BOWL 'CHARITY' SERIES the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Plays a Major Role in the World of College Athletics. Every
    THE BOWL ‘CHARITY’ SERIES The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) plays a major role in the world of college athletics. Every year, the BCS decides the NCAA Division I football National Champion. The BCS is comprised of four “Bowl Organizations” that each enjoy 501(c)(3) tax exempt status as charitable public benefit organizations, and each has done so since World War II. These Bowl Organizations are the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Fiesta Bowl. The IRS, in their Letters of Recognition of 501(c)(3) status to each Bowl Organization, states that the public benefit these organizations offer is “educational.” Despite being considered “charitable” organizations for tax purposes, the BCS Bowl Organizations are currently under attack for instead serving private interests. Although the actual percentage of revenues a “charitable” organization donates to charitable causes is not a true indicia of being considered a “charitable organization” for 501(c)(3) status, it is a good measurement to compare with an organization’s other expenditures. In 2011, the BCS held 23 bowl games that produced $186.3 million. The total charitable contribution for the BCS was $3.2 million, or a mere 1.7% of revenue. When considering whether a Bowl Organization fails the private inurement requirement of the operational test for 501(c)(3) status, it will not “look good” if the organization paid its Executive Officers more in salary and benefits than money they donated to charitable causes.1 The most criticized Bowl Organization of the four is surely the Fiesta Bowl. In the last Fiesta Bowl on January 2013, the Oregon Ducks defeated the Kansas State Wildcats in Glendale, AZ.

  • A Guide to the City Beautiful the City Beautiful
    A GUIDE TO THE CITY BEAUTIFUL THE CITY BEAUTIFUL Coral Gables’ founder, George E. Merrick, imagined both a “City Beautiful” and a “Garden City,” with lush green avenues winding through a residential city, punctuated by civic landmarks and embellished with detailed and playful architectural features. Today, Coral Gables stands out as a planned community that blends color, details, and a Mediterranean architectural style; it’s a rare pearl in South Florida. Early city planners and visionaries were influenced by the aesthetics of the City Beautiful Movement that swept across America in the early 1900s which encouraged the use of wide tree-lined avenues, monumental buildings, winding roadways, green space, ornate plazas, and fountains. All these elements of style have been and continue to be incorporated throughout the City. The City’s distinct tropical beauty is being enhanced by Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Million Orchid Project, an ambitious initiative that is reintroducing one million native orchids to street trees in Miami-Dade County, including more than 250,000 in the City Beautiful. Thanks to the City’s Tree Succession Project, the planting of approximately 3,000 new trees is now complete. The City continues to invest in its green canopy. The Landscaping Division has planted more than 270 new trees citywide on City swales and public green spaces to provide additional shade and environmental benefits. This includes the North Ponce neighborhood where more than 70 new shade trees were planted, and the Gables by the Sea Neighborhood where more than 50 new shade trees were planted. Coral Gables: The City Beautiful www.coralgables.com ECONOMIC OVERVIEW The Coral Gables economy is comprised of local and international businesses, but unlike other parts of Florida, it is not influenced by seasonal shifts.
