TOG Foundation - Together To Go Onlus

The TOGETHER TO GO (TOG) Foundation is a nonprofit social welfare organization (Onlus), established
at the end of 2011. It is based in Milan, Viale Famagosta 75, where it has established a Center of Excellence,
with a high-level specialization in the rehabilitation of children suffering from neurological pathologies
complex, particularly Cerebral Palsy Childhood and Genetic Syndromes with Mental Retardation. The
neurocognitive rehabilitation offered to young patients aims to stimulate the development of their
personality and enhance their abilities, despite the complexity of the pathology. Each child has an
individualized rehabilitation pathway that is structured according to each person's life needs. TOG
represents an aid to public health care, because his is a private center, born out of a
philanthropic, but which treats under a totally free regime.
