CAROLINE & FRIENDS

Posted by Sandy Graves

Kathleen Mayers started the non-profit organization "Caroline and Friends" to promote awareness and acceptance of Down Syndrome for the love of her daughter, Caroline. There are over 200 individuals with Down Syndrome in Beaufort County. The efforts of Caroline & Friends help parents take their children to specialized clinics and support the additional training of local educators and therapists who are interested in learning more about teaching children with Down syndrome. On Saturday, October 31st 3:00-5:00 p.m. Caroline and Friends and the National Down Syndrome Society are sponsoring the "Buddy Walk" at the Mall at Shelter Cove to which all proceeds go to "Caroline and Friends".
