Tourette Syndrome (TS) recently made national headlines when U.S. soccer goalie Tim Howard publicly talked
about his personal struggle with the disorder during the World Cup. Yet, despite the significant amount of
coverage TS has received over the last few months, it remains a mysterious and often misunderstood disorder
in the public eye – a status that the national Tourette Syndrome Association (TSA) continues to combat daily. The medical community treating TS estimates that the prevalence is much higher than the national
public perceives with approximately 1 in 100 people affected by the disorder and its associated conditions such
as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning
difficulties. We would like to invite you attend TSA’s Annual Gala as a guest to learn more first-hand about this
life-tormenting disorder. The gala is taking place on November 17 at The Pierre Hotel Grand Ballroom in NYC
at 6:30pm, where the 2014 TSA “Tribute to Excellence” Award will be presented to Otsuka.
