In 2010, the Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society held monthly meetings for members with topics relating to assistance for families of a child with Down syndrome. Care packages were continued to be distributed to new families of a child with Down syndrome identified by area hospitals. Group activities for the children and their families to assemble together were continued. In addition, several members attended related conferences to report back to the group regarding issues concerning the parents in the group. Camp Buddy, a summer camp program for the members to bridge the gap of therapies provided in the school system that are missing during the summer, continued again this year. It was held at 2 different locations each for 2 weeks and provided speech, physical, and occupational therapy under the guidance of a certified special education teacher and licensed therapists. A new project was begun entitled Night of Champions. This dinner was organized to honor and spotlight businesses in the community who employ people with special needs. The night also recognizes the special needs employee with video of them at their respective occupations. Lastly, the 5th annual Buddy Walk was help which provided the funds raised through public support. 68241 68241 Brian Hussey 103 Wynngate Rd Guyton GA 31312 5.00 0 Brooke May 18 Elmsford Ct Savannah GA 31410 5.00 0 Joe Marchese 571 Stillwell-Clyo Springfield GA 31329 5.00 0 Candy Bogardus 322 St Johns Rd Guyton GA 31312 10.00 0 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 85180 58068 65023 87673 71403 367347 85180 58068 65023 87673 71403 367347 367347 21 1481 2619 2511 6632 21 1481 2619 2511 6632 85180 58089 66504 90292 73914 373979 X 0.98230 0.01770 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.
