For over forty years the Friends Association has been committed to supporting the mission of Children’s Therapeutic Learning Center.   The idea of making contributions of time, ideas, and effort has been at the core of the Friends Association since its inception.  Members are men and woman from all walks of life who participate in Friends activities or simply lend their support through annual membership dues. The Friends Association wants to inform and increase community awareness of Children’s TLC through local events, newsletters, and personal communication with friends, neighbors, and colleagues. 

Why join?
Because you can directly impact the life of a child like Colin. We help over 700 kids each year that have stories like Colin, and you can help make each of those a success. You can be as active as you like. Some members simply receive the Children’s TLC newsletter The Flyer and e-communications, while others attend meetings and events, or take part in the programs we offer. Last year, we began a parents night out.  Friends members volunteered an evening to play with the children while the parents were able to enjoy a night out on the town. This is one example of how Friends members can directly benefit the families at Children’s TLC.

Become a Friends Member
Help us make Children’s TLC even stronger. We encourage you to give back to your community by becoming a member of the Friends Association, supporting Children’s TLC.  Dues are $65 to be a Friend, $125 to be a Best Friend, and $300 to be a Fabulous Friend.
