MORE: In 2010, ACM Lifting Lives began fully
funding what was previously called the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center Music Camp.
Today the ACM Lifting
Lives Music Camp serves approximately 30 campers with Williams
syndrome from around the country. Williams syndrome is a genetic condition that
is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical
problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning
disabilities. These occur side by side with striking verbal abilities,
highly social personalities and an affinity for music. For more information,
