A donor presented a $30,000 check to White Park in Bay Minette during a Baldwin County meeting in 2025, and meeting officials moved to accept the donation.
Meeting attendees said the donation is part of ongoing local support that has included $22,500 in college scholarships and other sponsorships for Baldwin County student activities, and a 2024 partnership with the City of Bay Minette on White Park renovation work.
The presenter (no name given) said, “Now in 2025, we are donating back to the park,” and described family ties to the area and prior contributions, including scholarships. Another speaker noted the organization’s recent fundraising activities, calling the scholarship program “meaningful and powerful in this community.”
A meeting official then asked whether a vote was required and proceeded when a motion and second were recorded. The official said, “Any further discussion? Hearing none, all in favor signify by saying aye,” after which the official announced, “Motion carries.” The mover and seconder were not specified on the record.
Speakers at the presentation thanked the donor and said the funds will be used for park equipment and improvements. No additional implementation details or a department assignment for overseeing the funds were specified in the transcript.
