CTC Legacy Dinner
For over 40 years, Comprehensive Therapy Center has been helping children with disabilities walk, talk, learn, and play. This longevity would not be possible without the therapists, volunteers and community members who make CTC’s mission attainable. Join us for our next CTC Legacy Dinner, where we’ll be honoring three individuals who have made a significant impact to our organization.
All proceeds from this dinner will go towards programing and our Therapy & Fun/Life Skills scholarship program, ensuring that all children who need it can participate in programs like Therapy & Fun regardless of family income.
