It is our honor to share with you all one final award before World Down Syndrome Day! Today, we celebrate Dr. David Smith with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr. Smith has done so much to help families who have a loved one with Down syndrome throughout his life. In addition to his role in starting the Down Syndrome Clinic at Children's Wisconsin, he played a crucial role in the founding of the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin, and he continues to be involved today as he helps DSAW to educate and train families and medical professionals. He is also father to Charlie, a 35 year old man who happens to have Down syndrome and who is Dr. Smith's biggest inspiration. Thank you Dr. Smith for taking care of people with Down syndrome and their families!!
This week, we will highlight each of the awardees that we intended to recognize at our 30th Anniversary Extrava-Gala, which was cancelled due to COVID-19.
