🎉 Today, we’re celebrating us! 🎉
On this date in 1971, the Charles Lea Center officially opened its doors with a community-wide celebration that marked the beginning of a legacy built on care, innovation, and inspiration.
At that time, the CLC served as a comprehensive hub for evaluation, education, treatment, and rehabilitation for children and adults with disabilities. With 89 staff members, an operating budget of $543,000, and services reaching over 1,700 people, it was a remarkable start!
During the dedication ceremony, South Carolina Governor John West shared words that still inspire us today:
“Hopefully the time is here when we need not tell a child that his turn for opportunity must await until there is a place for him… I hope that we can remove the words despair and frustration and replace them with words of hope and promise.”
Since that day, the Charles Lea Center has continued to grow by expanding both the depth and reach of our services to three states and more than 3000 people served.. We are proud of how far we’ve come and deeply grateful for the people, past and present, who have made it all possible. 💚 💚 💚
