A semi-professional basketball team misrepresented itself as a youth charity to get discounted use of Palm Beach County high schools gyms, a district investigation has found.
Now the school district is trying to recoup $10,584 from South Florida Gold, a for-profit team that charges fans for tickets.
A report for the district's Inspector General's Office says the team held practices and games at Boynton Beach High, Royal Palm Beach High and Olympic Heights High, west of Boca Raton. They leased the facilities at half the normal rate by using the tax identifications of two non-profit groups, the investigation found.
