2023 Year-In-Review
2023 was an incredible year for Tim's Club 💫
Since our official launch in April, we've achieved so many exciting milestones and laid a strong foundation for 2024.
Nothing we achieved this year would have been possible without your support.
Thank you for cheering us on every step of the way.
Here's a look back at our best moments from 2023:
We officially shared our vision for Tim's Club with the world on April 19, and were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support.
We welcomed our first virtual members, assembled our non-profit board, and started connecting with amazing people from the autism community - both in Panama and beyond. Their voices have been essential in shaping our vision for Tim's Club.
We hosted our first virtual workshop on June 5, and have held 6 more since then - all designed to help our community move their big dreams forward.
After months of research, careful consultation with experts, and meaningful conversations with community stakeholders, we refined our vision for Tim's Club and finalized our operational plan.
Working closely with a hospitality consultant, we designed the plans for our cafe, which will be the first part of Tim's Club we officially open to the public.
In October, we hosted our first official fundraiser, The Creators Give Back Bundle, and raised $10,989 🎉
We didn't stop there - to celebrate Black Friday, we offered an All-Access Pass to a year's worth of monthly workshops with Louise, and raised another $14,184 🎉
In November, we released a limited-edition merchandise collection. We shipped out our Tim's Club branded items to people all over the world, bringing greater visibility and support to our cause 🌎
In December, we kicked off our Holiday GiveBack Fundraiser, raising $8,811.65 so far - and we're not done yet.
That brings our total raised this year to over $50,000 USD 🎉🎉 We're absolutely thrilled and couldn't have done it without you.
Looking ahead to 2024 fills us with hope and optimism.
Our main goals for the year include:
Purchase the land. The property we've chosen is spacious, in a prime location, and will easily accommodate all the structures and outdoor activities we have planned 🌴 (it even has mountain views 🏔).
Hosting our first in-person fundraiser, a Garden Party in Panama this spring — which will be a wonderful way to engage our local community and garner support.
Opening our cafe. Our cafe will serve as an inclusive and inviting space, playing a pivotal role in raising awareness about Tim's Club, bolstering our fundraising endeavors, and establishing an on-site revenue source from day one.
Another big priority for 2024 will be to secure our first corporate sponsors. We're excited about securing some larger gifts that will really move the needle for our fundraising revenue.
We know 2024 will be another hugely successful year for Tim's Club, and we promise to bring you along every step of the way.
If you or someone you know would like to contribute to our cause, it would mean the world to us.

We are deeply grateful for your support as we continue to bring our vision for Tim's Club to life.
Here's to another year of making a difference, together! 🥂💫
With heartfelt gratitude,
