On Sept. 27 at 4:30 p.m., the American Business Club (ABC) of Springfield will make donations totaling more than $100,000 to Springfield area charities during a special presentation on the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The funds were raised through ABC's volunteer efforts at the 2022 Illinois State Fair managing gate admissions for the eleven days of the Fair. This year, ABC will be assisting nearly 60 charities, including church youth groups, school booster programs, civic clubs, and more. ABC has made similar charitable contributions to local organizations from its Admissions Project for more than 15 years.
"American Business Club has been a part of the Illinois State Fair for nearly 40 years," said ABC President Brian Manci. "For almost 20 of those years, we've partnered with organizations like those represented today to handle admissions at the Fair. We are thrilled to make donations to those groups to help them make the positive impact on the community that they all do."
The presentation will be made at the ABC Family Park, located inside the Main Gate, just past the Giant Slide.
