Are you looking for a perfect holiday gift? Look no further than the ABLE Foundation’s 6th annual commemorative ornament, on sale now. Each year the ornament has a Lowcountry theme; this year’s ornament features a starfish.
The nonprofit ABLE Foundation supports services and programs assisting individuals with special needs. In recent years, ABLE’s efforts have gone toward funding a summer camp, called Camp Treasure Chest, for children of all ages with special needs. In the absence of Camp Treasure Chest, these children would likely not have a summer camp experience. Funds from the state for summer services have been virtually eliminated, and the camp is almost solely supported through local fundraising and grants.
All proceeds from the sale of ornaments — which can also be used as medallions — go to support Camp Treasure Chest.
