"To provide scholarships for college bound high school students with Tourette Syndrome in California; foster a love for learning and reward the perseverance it took to get to college"As an individual with Tourette's who is also an educator and an endurance athlete, talk about needing perseverance, ScholasTIC Supporters was right up my alley. I was intrigued but not completely sold.
I reached out to ScholasTIC Supporters to get some questions answered. How did they get started? Where does the money go? How much of the money goes to helping those with Tourette's? The answers I got were; a mother of a child with Tourette's who wanted to help families who had college bound students with Tourette's. the money goes directly to the scholarships, and all of the money, 100%, goes to helping those with Tourette's. I had one last question. How can I help?
After several emails back and forth we set up a Razoo donation site where I could collect donations for the scholarship. I wish it was really that easy. There were two less than successful attempts before we saw some success with the Razoo site. They were great learning experiences and helped bring about some awareness but not as much as I had hoped. This is where perseverance is paying off!
I share a little more of my story over on the Razoo site. Stop by that page to read it. Here is the link to my Razzo donation site. While there leave a comment of support, share the page with others, and/or make a donation to help college bound students with Tourette's. The whole purpose is to raise awareness and help show that anything is possible. It is all of these reasons that make ScholasTIC Supporters and Ticcing Away the Miles a perfect fit for one another.
