Times are tough but you couldn't tell from the proceeds raised by the 2010 race for honorary mayor of Brandon, says Community Roundtable President George T. May IV, pictured with Dawn Gailia, executive director of the Center Place Fine Arts and Civic Associationin Brandon.
"Considering how tough these times are we are excited about how successful this year's race was with all three candidates," May says, at the July 14 presentation of checks and Fourth of July parade awards at Center Place. "This year's race raised almost $55,000 and we haven't seen a year like that in awhile."
The next highest total was in 2005, when James Young raised in his successful bid for mayor $75,001.
The 2010 race was won by Lisa Rodriguez, who raised more than $31,000 in support of Center Place. (She missed the check presentation because of illness.) Rounding out the campaign were candidates Sherrie Ngo and Rob Silver.
The annual race is organized by the Community Roundtable, an umbrella organization for area charities and businesses in support of charitable endeavors. The Roundtable also runs the annual Greater Brandon Fourth of July Parade, at which time the new mayor is announced. The candidate who raises the most money in the month of June and through the morning of the parade is "elected" to the honorary position. Each candidate contributes 10 percent of the money raised to the Roundtable and 10 percent to the sponsoring organization attached to each race. The remaining money is distributed to the candidate's charities of choice.
