We are looking for donations to help keep our Community Park open and available for the North Clark County and Amboy area community. Due to Covid we were unable to have any events in 2020, and we had to keep our fundraising events smaller for 2021. This loss of income has made it challenging to offset the costs incurred for yearly upkeep. Since this is the only community owned park in the state, we do not qualify for any money from county, state, or federal funds. The cost of yearly basic park upkeep is $36,670.00. This includes items such as utilities, insurance, taxes, repairs, maintenance. These costs do not include pay for the caretaker or board of directors; as they are all volunteers and not paid.
The average cost to run Territorial Days is $57,000.00. These expenses include but are not limited to entertainment, log show, advertising, booklet, silent auction, souvenir booth, parade, bounce houses, princesses, and equipment rentals. This cost does not include the extra for COVID-related expenses, such as hand sanitizing and cleaning.
The Amboy Territorial Park is solely owned and operated by the non-profit, all volunteer Amboy Territorial Days Association. All community members are welcome to attend meetings and join the park board. Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm.
The Amboy Territorial Park grounds, play areas, and restrooms are open to the public year-round. Park kitchens, building, and stages are available to rent for events such as family reunions, company picnics, weddings, birthdays, non-profit group meetings/events, and more.
Annual events at the park include North Clark Lions Club Easter Egg Hunt, Veteran’s celebrations, Amboy Territorial Days, Festival of Trees, and Cruise In.
We are asking for your help in donations. All contributions are tax-deductible and directly benefit our community park. A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated.
Donations: When it comes to our Go Fund Me link, you do not have to pay a fee. Click on the tip portion. Go down to custom and enter 0. We will be starting an actual campaign soon. The current Go Fund Me link is to donate to us directly through Go Fund Me Charity because we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We had to claim our charity to be able to have the donations come directly to us and to be distributed to a 3rd party, who then distribute to us.
If you do not want to use Go Fund Me, you can mail a check to
Amboy Territorial Park PO Box 203 Amboy, Washington 98601
Or feel free to reach out via phone (360) 247-5101 or email [email protected]
Be Healthy and Stay Safe.
Sincerely,
Amboy Territorial Days Association
