Scholarships: We contribute to
the National AMBUCS Scholarship Fund in
addition to providing our own

AmTrykes: AmTrykes are a national
symbol for the AMBUCS organization. We
have donated several of these special tricycles to
needy children since the creation of the
Tyler, TX AMBUCS Chapter.. A
qualification process takes place for
the child and as long as the AmTryke will
benefit him or her we?ll give it to them at no charge. What a great feeling it is
to see that child?s smile and how the
self-esteem level rises since now they
have a bike like everyone else. When
they ride they are performing therapy on
themselves. Learn
