  • (1888PressRelease) April 22, 2011 - It's more than just a contest.

    Each ticket purchased for the "Team Up with Tim Howard" raffle will support the programs of the NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome- the only organization of its kind bringing innovative research, services and education to the TS community.

    He knows what it's like to be a kid with a neurological disorder which causes erratic muscle movements or uncontrollable sounds. He also knows what it's like to overcome obstacles like Tourette Syndrome and achieve great success. There are many reasons why Tim Howard is an inspiration, and his commitment to children and families with TS is certainly at the top of the list.

    "Though based in the Garden State, the work of NJCTS benefits the entire TS community through our research, family outreach, education and medical training programs," said NJCTS Executive Director Faith Rice. "In this economy, this opportunity is crucial for us to be able to keep delivering to what we know is an underserved community," said Rice.
