| The History of the Foundation: |
Jim Eisenreich and his wife Leann founded The Jim Eisenreich Foundation for Children with Tourette Syndrome in 1996 to help children with TS achieve personal success.
In its first year, the foundation met with area philanthropists and funders to raise awareness of the goals of the foundation. On September 21, 1996, the foundation teamed with the Kansas City Explorers professional tennis team to host its first fund raising event. The proceeds of the event helped launch the foundation's activities. An office was established with an 800 phone number, which gave parents the opportunity to call with their questions and concerns. In some cases this was the first opportunity many parents had to talk to someone who has dealt with the feelings and emotions their children are now going through.
Currently the Jim Eisenreich Foundation is involved in the implementation of a strategic plan, which was developed in 1999 to establish a vision and mission of the foundation. This plan provides specific directions for the foundation and establishes a number of key objectives including:
Building strong programming
Public awareness issues
Providing financial support
Administrative excellence
