Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, Inc. is Launched!

BCTF_Logo_120209THE LAUNCH OF THE BRAD COHEN TOURETTE FOUNDATION, INC.
http://classperformance.com/foundation
Now accepting donations!

It’s official, The Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, Inc. (BCTF) is up and running. I’m honored to announce that my Foundation has been established as a non-profit 501(c)(3). Donations can me made and they will be tax deductible.

The mission of the Foundation is to help those with Tourette syndrome follow their dreams to be successful in life. I have my own vision of where I’d like to see things go over the years, but for now I’d like to focus on raising money to help children with TS so they can go to camps like Camp Twitch and Shout. I don’t want to see one person denied from camp because of financial reasons. Camp scholarships will provide a way for children to attend these types of camps. My ultimate goal is to make camp a free for all children.

This is where you can help me challenge perceptions and embrace differences! Donate now to help me with this initiative!

Visit my temporary Foundation website at:
www.classperformance.com/foundation/

or

www.bradcohentourettefoundation.com

Choose a donor level that best fits your needs. You may donate online and a tax receipt will be sent to you via email directly after the transaction, or feel free to send a check to the address listed on the website.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
As the Foundation begins to grow, we are looking for some addition help with 1) Website design and development, 2) Grant opportunities, 3) Newsletter development, 4) Fund-raising ideas and helpers to organize, 5) Database development 6) Other ideas you have that could help us out. Please Share!

I have set my goals high and I know with your support the BCTF will make a difference. I’m really excited about this new project with the Foundation. As always, I appreciate all the support from my family, friends and those of you who believe in my story.

Look us up on Facebook too! Search for the group Brad Cohen Tourette Foundation, Inc. Help me spread the word! As always, thanks in advance for your support!

Cheers, Brad
