Applied Pavement Technology frequently sponsors events for employees and their families, including happy hours, tailgates, cookouts, Wii tournaments, and other activities. Some of our recent events are described in further detail below.
CarX Crazy K
August 2011
On August 27, 2011, APTech employees and their families got dirty for a good cause at the CarX Crazy K. The extreme 5K race raised more than $20,000 for local Champaign County charities, with 100 percent of the donations going to those charities. APTech's team of ten runners finished 6th out of 42. Many obstacles and challenges faced the runners, including mud pits, hay stacks, wall climbs, hurdles, foam spray, and finally a crawl through a muddy pit to the finish.

Prairie Wind Ensemble Orchestrates Event at Firm Office
November 2010
For the third consecutive year, Applied Pavement Technology provided a space for the local Prairie Wind Ensemble to host its annual November fundraising concert and wine tasting. The firm is housed in a former opera house, so the stage serves as the perfect venue for their performance. This year, the ensemble played Beethoven to an audience of approximately 100 people. Applied Pavement Technology is always proud to support the local arts community.

Habitat for Humanity Volunteer Outing
November 2010
Ever wondered how much wood a staff of engineers could split in a day? A group from Applied Pavement Technology’s corporate office in Urbana trekked to nearby Monticello, Illinois, to find out. For the annual company-wide volunteer project, the staff undertook this challenging and labor-intensive volunteer project in conjunction with former FHWA employee Keith Herbold’s Habitat for Humanity group. The wood from the project was donated, and volunteers cut, split, and delivered the wood to buyers. The monetary proceeds support Habitat for Humanity efforts.
