In our last Blog post, we told you about a couple of Charleston organizations whose fundraising events we sponsored in November. One was The Children’s  Museum of the Lowcountry, whose Gala on November 3 raised more than their goal of $100,000 to fund the museum’s many programs, including those for underserved neighborhood children and their families. Today, we’d like to highlight two of these programs funded, and hope you’ll share this info with friends and family who can benefit from them.

The first program, Super Stars, is held the first Sunday of each month from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM before the museum’s public hours. It is a unique program exclusively for families with special needs children who are invited to come and explore the museum free of charge. There’s plenty of room for wheelchairs and other needed equipment and it is a very comfortable atmosphere where the families and kids can relax, enjoy themselves and meet and mingle with other families. Last Sunday, Santa came and the children and families all had a wonderful time! Due to the New Year’s Holiday, the first Super Stars event of 2012 will be held on January 8th.

The second program is Baby Scholars. It is an enrichment program currently serving pregnant teens at the Florence Crittentom Home. Twice a month we bring these young women here to enjoy the atmosphere, get books and learn parenting skills. They also get a free family membership so they can come back with their child and help their child learn from our exhibits geared towards young children.

Do you have family and friends who could benefit from either of these programs? If so, we’d like to ask that you share this blog post with them. If you are a current participant, we’d love to hear about your experience.
