Last month, the Island Park Area Chamber of Commerce gathered with community members at Island Park Adventures for a very special moment: the presentation of a $25,000 check to Friends of Island Park Ambulance.
The funds, raised through the Chamber’s popular I Love Island Park fundraiser, will directly support the vital work of the ambulance service in providing emergency medical care to residents and visitors across the area.
Chamber President Rob Illum spoke at the ceremony, sharing the Chamber’s pride in backing such an important cause. “This gift represents more than a fundraiser total—it’s an investment in the safety and well-being of our neighbors and visitors. We are proud to support the dedicated volunteers and professionals who serve our community through the ambulance service.”
The event included remarks from both the Chamber and Friends of Island Park Ambulance, the formal check handoff, and plenty of smiles, photos, and gratitude.
The Chamber extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in the I Love Island Park fundraiser and made this milestone possible. Together, the community showed once again what makes Island Park so strong: neighbors coming together to take care of one another.
