Last years benefit breakfast was a great success!

We want to thank all of our volunteers who have dedicated so much time and effort to this project. A few hundred people attended the event this year. Our organization raised over $30,000. We would like to give very special thanks to those individuals and businesses. None of this could have been possible without their donations. These proceeds go toward our AmTrykes program, Therapist scholarship program, Family Assistance Santa program, and other community projects.

Here are a few pictures we would like to share.

AMBUCS is an acronym for American Business Clubs. It was founded in 1922 by William L. White in Birmingham, Alabama. The organization originally had over 50 members. They adopted the club's constitution and motto - "Shoulders together". This is a powerful concept meaning we can make a difference together and carries a strong bond of friendship and fellowship. Today AMBUCS has grown to include 130 chapters in 15 states.

The Mesquite AMBUCS is one of the earliest chapters in the Southwest. It was chartered in 1984 by is founding members, Royce McCoy and Brad Hanley. They saw the importance of this organization as a way to enrich our community and effect the lives of deserving individuals that needed help. For more details about our chapter, click here.

We participate in many community projects such as building access ramps for families that need them. We also donate our time and resources to various other local organizations in order to help those in need through service.

The AMBUCS scholarship program is a great way for therapist to help fund their college career. For over 50 years, National AMBUCS™, Inc. has been awarding scholarships to therapy students in their junior/senior year in a bachelor’s degree program, or a graduate program leading to a master’s or doctoral degree.

Awards are based on financial need, US citizenship, commitment to local community, demonstrated academic accomplishment, character for compassion and integrity, and career objectives.
