You’ve done it West Texans! (along with a few non-Texans)

In early 2009 Nancy Anguish, Suzy Boldrick and board president Betty Sumner announced the Future Hope, Room for Expression capital campaign for the purchase and renovation of a permanent home for the Aphasia Center of West Texas. $1.8 million was the goal with $250,000 of that amount dedicated to an endowment to help offset annual facility operating expenses.

Throughout 2009 and 2010 numerous tours were hosted by individuals with aphasia, their families, board members and volunteers. It is with extreme excitement we announce the completion of the fundraising campaign.

With renovations nearly complete, plans are underway to return our completed Center in August 2011. For progress photos, click here.

Join our grand re-opening later this fall. With 6300 sq. ft. of programming, administrative, conference and storage space, our finished home will provide everything possible for Permian Basin residents coping with aphasia to connect with other survivors, learn new communication strategies and re-engage in life’s activities.
