New Rochelle's Craig Carton of 'Boomer and Carton' Raises Awareness and Money for Tourette Syndrome Foundation - TicTocStop

On Tuesday, June 16th, Mookie Wilson, John Franco & John Starks, along with Chris Simms, Wally Szczerbiak, Constantine Maroulis, Chris Algieri and others played in celebrity foursomes that raised over $200,000 for New Rochelle native, Craig Carton’s TicToc Stop Foundation. Carton is well known through his WFAN radio show “Boomer & Carton”.

One hundred and twenty-five attendees and ninety-five golfers came to show their support of TicTocStop, and help the foundation raise money to improve the lives of those living with Tourette Syndrome (TS) through a clinical trial they are currently funding. This trial is the first of it’s kind, and is being run out of the University of Tennessee. Led by Dr. Bill Balanoff, the study is seeking FDA approval for an oral appliance that has shown to reduce the tics associated with TS.

Additionally, TicTocStop fully funds a 1-week sleep away camp in upstate New York, currently for over 40 children with Tourette Syndrome, allowing them to enjoy and benefit from everything camp has to offer in a nurturing and understanding environment. This provides a safe, comfortable and welcoming camp experience for TS kids, many of whom struggle daily with the social challenges posed by their tics.

“As an individual with Tourettes, and now a parent of children with TS, the mission of TicTocStop is very personal. It gives me such satisfaction to know that our foundation, founded just nearly 2 years ago, has made such a tremendous positive impact on the lives of many with Tourette Syndrome,” Carton says. “At our events and camp I have had the chance to meet people whose lives have been restored by the oral appliance our study is testing. That keeps me and others with TicTocStop committed to our mission.”
