Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society Calls for 2020 Night of Champions Nominations

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Feb. 8, 2020 - The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society (LDSS) is seeking nominations and sponsors in preparation for its 11th Annual Night of Champions celebration of workplace success stories.

"Night of Champions is designed to highlight employees and their employers who, through dedication and leadership, illuminate the possibilities and benefits of inclusive communities and workspaces," said Night of Champions chairman Tom Kenkel. "We welcome nominees from all over the lowcountry and would love to hear from anyone with an uplifting story to share."

Employee nominations may be completed online at https://nightofchampions.org, and will remain open until Friday, February 28.

The selected individuals and their employers will be invited as special guests to the Night of Champions dinner on Thursday, April 2, at 6 p.m. at the Savannah Convention Center.

Last year's honorees included Erik Glasford, Effingham Health System; Meghan Mayle,
Bubba Gumbo's Seafood Restaurant; Reginald Horton, The Savannah Bananas; Chris Maynor, DIRTT Environmental Solutions; and Chris Holt, Tybee Island YMCA. Amy Wright, owner of Bitty & Beau's Coffee, was the recipient of the 2019 President's Award.




The evening will include a recognition ceremony, a silent auction benefiting LDSS and a cash bar, with Cyreia Sandlin serving as the night's emcee. This year's President's Award honoree is Will Howell of WillPower Ties.

"The success of Night of Champions is directly tied to local organizations that create opportunities for people to demonstrate their desire to work and make valued contributions to their community," Kenkel said. "The achievements of these champions in the workforce inspire more local organizations to take up the mission to light the way."

LDSS is also seeking sponsors to support Night of Champions as it raises money to sustain the programs it offers throughout the year, including Camp Buddy for children with Down syndrome, its annual Buddy Walk in Forsyth Park and its weekly support meetings for the families and friends of individuals with Down syndrome.
