Little Lucas Warren just made history for being chosen as the first child with Down syndrome to become a Gerber baby. The one-year-old from Dalton, Georgia was selected from over 140,000 contestants to win Gerberâs 2018 Spokesbaby contest.
The contest has been going on for more than 90 years and as the Grand prize winner, Lucasâ family will get $50,000 and appear on the baby brandâs social media channels.
âWe hope this opportunity sheds light on the special needs community,â Lucasâ mom Courtney Warren says, âand educates people that with acceptance and support, individuals with special needs have the potential to change the world, just like our Lucas.â
