The Ambassadors set themselves apart from other “Harlem-style” basketball teams by working with local not-for-profit and service organizations and holding Harlem Ambassadors shows as community fundraising events. The Ambassadors have partnered with the Rotary Club of Oak Park-River Forest to help raise funds for community initiatives.

The Rotary Club will also be collecting new or gently used winter coats for homeless veterans.
