Programs
Blue Bird Circle Charitable Activities
Approximately 350 Blue Bird Circle members devote at least 50,000 hours every year working in The Blue Bird Circle Clinic for Pediatric Neurology at Texas Children's Hospital or in The Blue Bird Circle Resale Shop (the Shop) and other fundraising activities to support the Circle's charitable causes. The Shop is substantially run by the volunteer members of the Circle and provides an important source of funding to enable the Circle to support its projects.Continued on Schedule O. The mission of The Blue Bird Circle Clinical Research Center at Texas Children's Hospital is to bring ever-advancing therapies to its patients. The Center supports cutting-edge research in neurology and enhances the larger effort to build a clinical research support structure that will advance care to the next level and make a difference in the lives of children affected by neurological disorders. It capitalizes on the remarkable scientific discoveries being made in childhood neurological diseases and serves as the clinical research arm of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital, as well as for the Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Lab and The Blue Bird Circle Rett Center, developing the treatments and cures of tomorrow. The Blue Bird Circle funded an endowed chair in pediatric neurology at Texas Children's Hospital to allow the program to have increased flexibility and to attract and keep the highest quality of physicians working in the area of pediatric neurology.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJun 1, 2021 – May 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$453.3KNeurogenetics Research Laboratory
