FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CDS Celebrates “Sweet Sixteen” Birthday

On Wednesday July 20th, 2016, the Center for Developmental Services (CDS) celebrated its “Sweet Sixteen” birthday since opening its doors in 2000.

The children enjoyed face-painting, Spin-the-Wheel, and various games and prizes. Highlights for the children included a close-up look at emergency vehicles and interacting with our first responders. Special thanks to the Greenville Police Department, the Greenville Fire Department, and volunteers for helping with the event.

Last year, CDS served over 6,000 children in the Upstate with developmental delays and disabilities. For more information about the services CDS offers, visit www.cdservices.org/.
