The proceeds from this event will support, enhance and strengthen the statewide education outreach and peer advocacy programs of NJCTS.
“We appreciate each of these organizations for their generosity in support of New Jersey’s kids, and their contributions will go a long way toward achieving the Youth Advocate 5K Family Run/Walk’s goals,” NJCTS Executive Director Faith W. Rice said. “Each of these organizations is dedicated toward walking the walk and standing up to help the 1 in 100 kids with Tourette Syndrome and other neurological disorders, and for that we thank them.”
