Tourette Association of America Inc (Southern California Chapter)

Hi, I'm Gail Gonzalez, and I'm raising funds for the Tourette Association of America Inc (Southern California Chapter) CAMP GEORGE. Your donation will help fund future Camp George programs and the TAA's ongoing dedication to educating and advocating for individuals and families affected by Tourette Syndrome. Your support can make a real difference in the lives of those navigating the challenges of this condition and will go directly to our chapter for Camp George. As you all may know, my son Phoenix was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 6. He has since become a Youth Ambassador for the Tourette Association and traveled to Washington D.C to speak on Capitol Hill to advocate for himself and others like him. Phoenix attends Camp George every summer and it has been an absolute blessing to not only Phoenix but our entire family. This camp is something we look forward to every single year and is Phoenix's "light at the end of the tunnel." Camp George is the one place Phoenix feels he can be himself, let loose and not be embarrassed by his tics. Please donate and help Phoenix reach his goal of $350.

Join me in supporting the TS community and Camp George. Every dollar counts and contributes to a brighter future for those affected by Tourette Syndrome. Thank you for your generosity!

Learning about Tourette strives to empower the kid with Tourette to speak openly to their friends and feel accepted in their community. Tourette Syndrome and all forms of tic disorders are stigmatized because of the amount of misinformation out there. We want to eliminate the stigma and create a better understanding of the complexities of tic disorders.

Tic disorders lie on a broad spectrum and vary from case to case. Each person has their own triggers and complexities. When someone thinks of Tourette syndrome, they often think of the most extreme form. We want to broaden the understanding of TS and thus make a more accepting community.

As founder, I have had a tic disorder for as long as I can remember. For many years, I was unable to speak up about it in fear of misunderstanding and judgment. I started Learning About Tourette with the goal of never having another kid feel too scared to be open about who they truly are.

Tourette Association of America benefits research for therapeutic development and medical research and helps bring awareness and acceptance to those with tic disorders and TS.

Every donation helps educate professionals, research developments, empower the community and provide hope.
