Collaborative Partnerships for the Tourette Syndrome Community
The New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS) is proud to announce Mary Kate Donohue as an honorable-mention recipient of the 2014 NJCTS Children’s Scholarship Award.
Donohue, who is graduating from Cherokee High School, was selected for her academic achievement, community service and accomplishments as an individual with Tourette Syndrome – an inherited, misunderstood, misdiagnosed neurological disorder that affects 1 in 100 children.
Donohue’s award essay was titled “Twitch Like You Mean It.”. Her list of extracurricular activities reflects her accomplishments in academics and community outreach. Donohue has been a member of the National Honor Society, Art Club, and the swim team.
NJCTS congratulates Donohue – who will attend Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in the fall – on her achievements and wishes her continued success in her academic and career endeavors.
Since 2001, the NJCTS Children’s Scholarship Award has been awarded to more than 200 outstanding high school seniors in the state of New Jersey who have excelled in their schools, communities and lives – representing themselves as excellent advocates for Tourette.
