Town & Country School, a 501(c)(3) organization, was established in 1961 as a kindergarten through eighth grade program by child psychologist Dr. Lillian Whitmore and a group of parents of children with learning disabilities. Forty-nine years later, Town & Country continues to be Oklahoma's only accredited, nonpublic, full day program specifically designed to meet the needs of students in grades 1-12 who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities, attention disorders and Asperger's. T&C's mission is to improve the lives of students with learning differences by providing a nurturing environment for academic, social and personal growth.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will help "bridge the gap" between tuition and actual costs to educate a student with learning differences. Individual reservations are $125 each, and sponsorships begin at $500.
