TICS: Tourette Information Center and Support

Kavin Kardon, son of the illustrious Trica Kardon (one of our past Camp Directors/Executive Directors), is going to give back to the camp that meant so much to him. He has been a counselor with us for a long time and volunteered with our virtual camp as well last year. He is selling puzzles with his art and will give back $5 of every purchase back to camp Twitch and Shout. You can purchase them at https://www.etsy.com/shop/KevinsMonsterShack You can also learn more about the...m at https://www.kevinsmonstershack.com/ When you place the puzzle in the cart just put Camp Twitch and Shout or any message to that effect and you've just got yourself an amazing gift for your family and donated $5 to help camp as well. Donations will continue through December 31st, so be sure to get your monster puzzle for the holidays.
