Special Thank You's

TSA-IL wants to extend a special and heart-felt thank you to all the TS families that participate and share their experiences, knowledge, support and love.  We would also like to thank all our volunteers and our contributors who give so much in such a variety of ways.  Without each and every one of you, TSA-IL would not be the informative, supportive, compassionate organization that it is.  We take our hats off to you!!!! 

Without important Fundraisers, TSA-IL would not be able to provide all the services we do!

Annual Picnic

Our annual picnic is the highlight of our year.  It allows for individuals, parents, kids, teenagers and other family members to bond with others with TS and to realize they are not alone and that they’re pretty darn amazing J.  Most importantly it gives them a chance to simply relax and have FUN.

On Sunday, July 31, 2011, over 80 people came together at Ferson Creek Pavilion to enjoy lunch, games, prizes, face painting, hear many inspiring youth share their TS experiences and learn some new dances moves!

A very special thank you to our Picnic Coordinators, Susan Fischler, Melody Logsdon and Lisa Biedron, and to those that worked so hard to make this a smooth running fantastical event
