Description Program Service Accom	In 2011, the Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society held monthly meetings for members with topics relating to assistance for families of a child with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk in its sixth year continues to be the largest program service accomplishment. The Walk brings together thousands of individuals to promote the awareness of Down syndrome through a fun day filled with activities and fund-raising. Camp Buddy held its 2nd year of 2 summer camps providing speech, physical, and occupational therapy under the guidance of certified special education teachers and licensed therapists. These camps bridge the gap of therapies provided in the school system that are missing duiring summer break. We also held our second annual Night of Champions, a dinner organized to honor businesses in the community who employ those with special needs as well as spotlight the employees with special needs themselves. The group also continues to get together for special membership outings so that the children and their families gain support and education through interaction	DescriptionProgramServiceAccom
