Down Syndrome Awareness Month. A big beautiful month full of Awareness.

We have had an amazing Down Syndrome Awareness month. A 5k, a spot on the local new show, a fashion show, a Halloween party….It was full and so so fun.

Our Facebook page made many new “friends”

In between all the big events were moments of speaking to teachers and friends. Bringing awareness.

Our name is becoming more and more known.

People are asking questions & wanting to get involved.

Local business are seeing our value and giving much to help us achieve our goals.

Awareness is growing friends, be excited.

We are a few weeks away from our first anniversary and we are so proud of all the amazing work that has been done.

Here are a handful of pictures from our big month……

they say way more than my little words ever could.
