UCSD Professor Recipient of Tourette Syndrome Association’s Champion of Children Award
While this is a bit dated I was pleased to run across it because it stood out for all the right reasons (in no particular order):
- The article was about honoring people working on behalf of Tourette Syndrome and children in particular
- It was sponsored by the Tourette Syndrome Association
- Numerous high-profile businesses were involved, most notably UBS
- And Jennifer Love Hewitt - a singer-actress who actually has talent and integrity - stepped up to draw attention to Tourette Syndrome
On February 16, 2006, the national Tourette Syndrome Association, Inc. (TSA) held its 9th Annual Champion of Children Awards Dinner at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. This year’s honorees and recipients of the TSA Champion of Children Award included Dr. Neal R. Swerdlow, past Chairman of the TSA Scientific Advisory Board and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California San Diego School (UCSD) of Medicine; Brian Webber, Managing Director and Head of Technology Investment Banking at UBS; and actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Fortunately, Tourette Syndrome has its share of athletes who stand out - and up - for us. It’s good to see Hollywood doing the same.
