"In ways I couldn't have imagined when we first learned of Charlotte's differences, learning disabilities affects the whole family."

Springer's annual event took place
May 5, 2010 from 6:00 - 9:30p.m.
at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza

Ms. Buchman has directed her own fashion label for 20 years, and now designs the Dana Buchman collection at Kohl's. Along with her daughter, Charlotte, she has also written A Special Education, a book about their family's journey in coming to terms with learning disabilities.

Guests heard anecdotes from Ms. Buchman's personal story of navigating the maze of issues having a child with learning disabilities brings. The evening also included cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, a silent and live auction, raffle, and dinner.

Brad Johansen from Local 12 acted as Emcee for the event.

A Springer Celebration! is held to increase awareness about learning disabilities and to raise funding for financial aid and outreach programs.
