When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.

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.
