The Lubbock Caprock Chapter of AMBUCS was chartered on June 1st, 1956 by the Lubbock Downtown chapter with 44 charter members. James E. Norman was the charter president of Lubbock Caprock. Paul Bush and Delwin Jones were charter members of Caprock and are still very involved today. Our members include bankers, nurses, business owners and a wide spectrum of other occupations. Caprock AMBUCS held the 52nd annual FiberMax Caprock Classic Basketball Tournament on December 28-30, 2010. It was the largest high school basketball tournament in Texas. All of the money raised from the tournament went towards charitable activities.
We are recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization under IRS regulations. Click HERE to read a sampling of some of the letters we have received.
