Great Plains Ambucs hosts Bags for Cash Charity Cornhole Tournament
LAWTON, Okla. (KSWO) - Great Plains Ambucs partnered with Lawton cornhole teams for the third “Bags for Cash” charity cornhole tournament.
There were close to 300 people participating in the 3-day tournament.
The goal is to raise money to provide amtryke bikes, ramps, and scholarships.
7-year-old Lincoln Brown was surprised with his own amtryke during the event.
Ambuc’s member Jimmy Roggenbuck said it’s important to him that kids have a chance to feel normal.
“ It provides independence for the kids with disabilities so that they can go out and ride with their brother or sister that’s on a normal bike so it gives them that opportunity to be just a normal kid instead of having a kid with disabilities, it’s just a normal kid on a special bike,” Roggenbuck said.
Ambucs also has a veterans program that allows adults to also receive a bike.
If you know someone that will benefit from an amtryke you can reach out to your local ambucs chapter for more information.
