Theater Under The Stars Presents Gala With Down Syndrome Association

The Down Syndrome Association of Houston is proud to announce that the 2nd Annual DSAH, "Evening With The Stars" Gala, will be held on Saturday October 4, 2008 at the Hilton Americas Hotel in Downtown Houston, benefitting the Down Syndrome Clinic of Houston at Texas Children's Hospital. The Clinic has been aiding local families since 2006 and at this year's gala a special performance will be given in recognition of all the organization has done to help children with Down Syndrome reach their full potential. In partnership with Theatre Under The Stars Humphrey's School of Musical Theatre, 10 children will perform a special Broadway Musical Review.

The Clinic is committed to the advancements in research and education directly related to the quality of life of children with Down Syndrome and has provided complete evaluations of hundreds of children over the past two years. In partnership with The Baylor College of Medicine, The Down Syndrome Association of Houston opened The Clinic in 2006, brining much needed support and innovative resources to Houston area families.  Currently operating and full capacity and in great need of expansion, The Clinic relies on the annual DSAH Gala for continued funding and support.  The "Evening With The Stars" Gala will feature a silent auction in addition to the children's performance.  All funds raised will be dedicated solely to the advancement of The Clinic's mission.
