Our Christmas Party is open to all families and individuals affected by Tourette Syndrome, whether it’s your first time joining us or you’re a returning member. Everyone is welcome — parents, kids, teens, and siblings!

We will be serving an Italian dinner (most likely lasagna, bread, and salad) along with some dessert (brownies and cookies). If you want to bring something to share, you are more than welcome to but do not feel like you need to.

We will also have games and activities, including antler ring toss, cookie decorating, and creating a Santa competition.

RSVP with the number of adults AND the number of children attending so we can ensure we have enough food, but if you are deciding last minute come anyways as we always have room for more.

About Tourette’s Syndrome

Tourette’s syndrome is a neurobehavioral (brain-based) movement disorder characterized by motor and vocal tics. Beginning in childhood, it causes those affected to make movements and noises they cannot control. Additionally, many with T.S. also have associated disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder and/or learning problems. Although medication may help control the symptoms, as of yet there is no cure. Tourette Association of America – Texas Chapter, one of the largest Tourette Association of America Chapters in the country, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We raise funds to directly assist Texas area families and children in crisis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Tourette Texas Mission Statement

Our programs and services include professional counseling; a unique Medical Assistance Program; an annual children’s Camp du Ballon Rouge weekend; educational programs and In-Service presentations; scholarships and direct client services; Support Groups; Youth Ambassador Program; and family events and activities, all of which are free of charge to our families.
