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 4100 75852 75852 X Candy Bogardus 322 St Johns Road Guyton GA 31312 10.00 0 Allyson Harvin 4131 Ogeechee Rd Ste 104 Savannah GA 31405 5.00 0 Joe Marchese 571 Stillwell-Clyo Springfield GA 31329 5.00 0 Kristin Nyce 15 Shad River Road Savannah GA 31410 5.00 0 false false false false false false false false false false Candy Bogardus 322 St Johns Road Guyton GA 31312 9127288505 false false false false false false false false false X false false false false NONE NONE true X X 58068 65023 87673 71403 60089 342256 58068 65023 87673 71403 60089 342256 342256 21 1481 2619 2511 1512 8144 21 1481 2619 2511 1512 8144 58089 66504 90292 73914 61601 350400 X 0.97680 0.02320 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false Primary Exempt Purpose Part III The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society's primary purpose is to promote education and awareness for people with Down Syndrome in the coastal Georgia area.
