Polar Plunge
Each year, we are fortunate to be one of the recipients of the proceeds of the ChippenWhales Polar Plunge—hosted by Children's Charities of the Midlands. This year’s plunge into the cold water of Lake Carolina in Columbia, will take place Saturday, January 16th. Gary Matthews, event organizer, recently interviewed one of our families. Read Lizzy Sample's, inspiring story as told by her mom, Jenny Anderson on our news page! You can support the event through their exciting online auction or making a donation.

News from Stepping Stones Triple P!
Family Connection has recently expanded our trained and accredited staff to deliver Stepping Stones Triple P in both English and Spanish. The statewide program offers different levels to fit individual needs, ranging in intensity from light-touch seminars to ongoing courses. The goal is to help parents manage behavioral and emotional issues in children and teenagers ¬with disabilities that can lead to problems in the family, school and community.
The program works to build family resilience, coping strategies and other protective factors through seminars and one-on-one interaction with families.

We are looking for volunteer leaders who are interested in helping us plan and implement our 2021 LOOK! and Buddy Walk events. For more information about these exciting volunteer leadership roles, please contact Jacki Garbinsky, Marketing and Events Manager at jgarbinsky@famlyconnectionsc.org.
