Description

This awesome event is scheduled for Sunday, October 30, 2022 at Lower Perkiomen Valley Park, 101 New Mill Road, Oaks, PA. This fundraiser is vital in helping to support programs for children with Tourette syndrome and to promote acceptance of this misunderstood disorder.

Without our organization, children with Tourette syndrome often get teased and bullied daily because other children and teachers think that they can suppress their repetitive movements and vocalizations, called “tics”. This pressure actually increases their symptoms because it increases their stress. Our training programs help to explain this medical condition and promote acceptance and inclusion of students with the disorder. PATSA works collaboratively with physicians, employers, teachers and family members to help support those with this confusing neurological disorder. Additionally, we organize a yearly family camp weekend foster knowledge for caregivers and friendships for all affected by TS. Tourette’s does not have to limit anyone’s future, nor make them an outcast from their peers.

Please consider partnering with us to sponsor the Pumpkin Run at whatever sponsorship level you are able
