TCC Fund Drive Surpasses $200,000

Editorial Staff

Texas Chiropractic College's fund drive surpassed its goal of $200,000 by securing $201,335 in pledges with a hard working staff of 25 alumni and friends.

"I've never seen a more concentrated, dedicated, and unified effort of cooperation to obtain a monumental goal," said TCC President S.M. Elliott, D.C.

An offshoot of the fund-raising has been the emergence of the TCC Development Corps, an idea developed by board member Charles Albracht, D.C., and refined by Ken White, D.C., and Billie Duncan, TCC's chief development officer. Dr. Albracht explained: "After being on the board for a short time, I found that there wasn't a consistent base of giving to TCC. There are so many people out there who have reaped the benefits of being a chiropractor and having graduated from TCC but have never been approached to give large amounts of money..."

The Development Corps currently has 20 members. A full member contributes $5,000 a year; an associate member $2,500.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
