The Blue Bird Circle, through the charitable and benevolent activities of its members, has pledged to support The Blue Bird Circle Clinic for Pediatric Neurology, The Blue Bird Circle Developmental Neurogenetics Laboratory, The Blue Bird Circle Rett Center, and The Blue Bird Circle Clinical Research Center. Through the passionate work of dedicated Circle members, generous support of donors and the Houston community, the Circle provides more than $1 million each year in support of the Clinics, the Laboratory and the Rett Center. In addition to financial support, Circle members contribute over 100,000 volunteer hours annually at the Clinic and Resale Shop.
The Circle’s newest endeavor, The Blue Bird Circle Clinical Research Center at Texas Children's Hospital, will capitalize on the remarkable scientific discoveries being made in the treatment of childhood neurologic diseases and serves as the clinical research arm of the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital.
