Sara Pierce elected 2021-2022 state commander

Sara Pierce was elected as American Veterans Department of Ohio's 2021-2022 commander at the department's 75th Annual Convention last weekend. Her project is growing the AmTryke mobility program run by the non-profit AMBUCS.

Amtryke makes foot trykes, hand trykes, and hand & foot trykes in a wide range of sizes—all at a low cost. Nearly every rider can be successful, no matter their diagnosis, through the full line of highly adjustable trykes and myriad of adaptive accessories.

AMBUCS now has more than 5,000 members in more than 150 chapters in over 30 states. The Amtryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program is one of the main ways this mission is accomplished. AMBUCS members fundraise for and give away about 3,500 Amtrykes each year. For more on Commander Pierce's project, click here.
