🚨SECURE YOUR SPONSORSHIP TODAY! 🚨

🚨👕 SPONSOR FOMO ALERT — T-SHIRT DEADLINE APPROACHING 👕🚨

If your business wants to be seen before, during, and after the Red River Craft Beer Festival, this is your reminder…

⏳ The deadline to be included on the official event T-shirt is quickly approaching.

That means:
✔️ Hundreds of attendees wearing your logo
✔️ Long-term brand visibility beyond festival day
✔️ A chance to align your business with one of Lawton’s biggest community events
✔️ Supporting Great Plains AMBUCS and making a real local impact

Once the deadline passes, the shirt goes to print — and that visibility opportunity is gone.

📩 Still time to sponsor:
Contact Monte Brown, Event Chair

Wish List Wednesday!

A huge THANK YOU to the Great Plains Ambucs Chapter for their incredible generosity in sponsoring 9 riders from Oklahoma off the National Wish List! The impact is real, and the generosity is truly incredible.

What is the National Wish List?

The National Wish List are riders who have completed their Amtryke assessment and are ready for an Amtryke Adaptive Tricycle but are still waiting for funding or a sponsoring chapter. Many of these riders are outside a chapter’s typical geographic area or local program reach, which is where the National Wish List shines. It allows chapters, donors, and partners to step in and support riders anywhere in the country, expanding the impact of AMBUCS far beyond local communities.

Because of the Great Plains Chapter’s support, 9 Oklahoma riders are now moving off the Wish List and are getting closer to experiencing the joy of riding!
