Greater Champaign County AMBUCS
What Else We Do
​
The Greater Champaign County AMBUCS is a very busy club, with events almost every month. Each member can participate in one or all of these events depending on how much they wish to be involved.
​
At the first of the year we have: Barstool Golf and the Cash Bash
two of our major fundraisers.
​
As soon as the weather gets warm and dry we start our: Ramp Building Project which runs through the summer and fall.
​
Warm weather also ramps up our: Amtryke giveaways as children love to get outside and ride.
​
When May rolls around: the Tom Jones Challenger League starts playing their games in AMBUCS Park.
The Spring also brings one of our newest events: Amtryke Road Rally which is a fun day for children with trikes and their parents.
​
Fall brings our next fundraiser: the Golf Outing Fundraiser hosted at Lake of the Woods Golf Coure, Mahomet, IL.
The Scarecrow Festival is also hosted in the Fall at AMBUCS Park, East Urbana, IL.
​
For years around Christmas time we: decorated AMBUCS Park for the holidays. A new leader could resurrect that tradition.
​
Just for fun, four times per year we have a: Chapter Social where members can bring their families to meet the rest of us.
​
For the Spring and Fall semesters, we give: Scholarships to Therapy Students at Parkland College.
​
Throughout the year, we give our support to other organizations:
Urbana Park District
Developmental Services Center
Disabled Students Organization
Muscular Dystrophy Association
and we support our fellow AMBUCS Chapters by attending their fundraisers and events and helping when we can.
​
AMBUCS Chapters are organized into regions and are also part of a National Organization. Once per year we have a regional conference and a national conference. At these events, we share ideas and learn about new and different ways of doing things.
