AMBUCS

Techrizon supports the Annual AMBUCS Pancake Day through the sale of tickets to our employees. Many of our employees purchase tickets to the event to show their support, enjoy a good meal for a good cause, and visit with other members of our community.

The AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle has benefited and delighted special needs children for years. The AmTryke is hand and/or foot powered and improves motor coordination, increases self-esteem and is fun to ride! It not only gives them the needed therapy, but creates independence and allows the special needs individual to ride bikes with friends. Physical and occupational therapists acknowledge the AmTryke tricycle’s therapeutic benefits to patients, citing improved motor skills and strength development. AMBUCS chapters across the nation give AmTrykes to recipients free of charge.

The ‘Challenge Trail Festival’ is a successful and rewarding event held annually by Mountain Metro AMBUCS, for children and adults with special needs. The event attracts up to 100 participants from the Lawton and surrounding areas. The participating individuals look forward to Challenge Trail every year. They show up with open arms, big smiles and are full of excitement and enthusiasm. The participants are challenged to walk a half mile track for which they receive an armband for each lap around the track. They are also treated to numerous games, face painting, camel rides, a cookout, and awards.

Mountain Metro AMBUCS has always helped with ramp building, but never took on the task of building a ramp themselves until this year. The club has built three ramps and assisted in the building of 10 others. Ramp building creates accessible homes and businesses and provides independence.
