PITTSBURGH, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Down Syndrome Society is an advocate for the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome, and it is a cause that ACE employees in the Northeastern U.S. chose to support during ACE's annual fundraiser.

"The National Down Syndrome Society is an organization that I am very passionate about," said RVP Chris Brooks. "I can't thank our customers and associates enough for their generosity and hard work during this fundraiser."
