Additional Information

On Saturday, February 27, 2016, we will be celebrating our thirteenth annual “Phantom Ball” at Texarkana Convention Center, Texarkana, Texas. The proceeds of this event will benefit the client services of Temple Memorial Rehabilitation Center.

“Phantom Ball” will honor very special members of our community as the “Phantoms.” The criterion for “Phantom” is one who gives generously of their time and financial support to the Temple Center and the community of Texarkana. We are pleased to announce that this year’s “Phantom Couple” is Dr. David and Susan Whitten.

In 1952, Dr. S.A. Collom and a gathering of Texarkana citizens founded the “Temple Home for Crippled Children” in response to the polio epidemic which was sweeping across our nation. Since that time, the Temple Center, an Easter Seals affiliate, has evolved and expanded into a premier facility providing physical, occupational and speech therapy for children and adults with disabilities. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the staff and Board of the Temple Center are committed to providing service to clients regardless of their ability to pay.

All proceeds from this event benefit our Scholarship Fund. This fund enables us to treat children with no pay source or those that have exhausted their insurance benefits for the year. Specifically it enables us to treat those that cannot pay for our services. We depend on our fundraisers to enable us to keep our doors open and provide this much needed care.

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please call Anita Carver at 903-794-2705 to inquire.
