Don't Forget to "Team Up with Tim"

Somerville, NJ (I-Newswire) May 5, 2011 - For the lucky person who holds the winning ticket, Tim Howard is reserving seats to an Everton game and a place at the dinner table. The soccer superstar is once again helping to raise funds for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome. Howard, originally from New Jersey, has Tourette Syndrome, a neurological disorder. It is estimated that 200,000 Americans have the most severe form of TS, and as many as one in 100 exhibit milder and less complex symptoms such as chronic motor or vocal tics or transient tics of childhood, according to the National Institutes of Health.

“I look forward to hosting this year’s winner to an Everton game and dinner,” said Howard, goalkeeper for the Everton Football Club. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the programs and services of the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome. “Though based in the Garden State, the work of NJCTS benefits the entire TS community through our research, family outreach, education and medical training programs,” said NJCTS Executive Director Faith Rice.

Tickets are on sale now through June 1st by visiting www.teamupwithtimhoward.org for $25 each or 5 tickets for $100. The winner will receive round-trip airfare for two from Newark Liberty International airport in New Jersey to Manchester, U.K.; hotel accommodations; two tickets to an Everton Football Club match and dinner with Tim Howard.
