The Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society (LDSS) is requesting nominations for its ninth annual Night of Champions, set for May 10 at the Savannah International Trade Center in Savannah.

The event seeks to recognize Savannah area employees who are differently-abled and excel in their workplace, with an additional acknowledgment of the employers who have given them the opportunity to work.

Employee nominations can be submitted online at nightofchampions.org until April 13.

Last year’s awards went to: Nicholas Brown, a groundskeeper at the Savannah International Airport; Mackenzie Hancock, a sales associate with Polka Dots Gifts & Accessories; George Gates, a custodian with Federal Law Enforcement Training Center & Goodwill; Dennis Pickett, a warehouse team member with Fulfillment.com; and Brenton Scott, a kennel volunteer with Coastal Pet Rescue.
