WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY 2021

March 21, 2021 marks World Down Syndrome Day, a day dedicated to raising
awareness about Down syndrome and celebrating individuals around the world
living with the genetic condition. According to the World Down Syndrome Day
website, the date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month was selected to
signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome
which causes Down syndrome.



WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

With the challenges non-profits are facing during this global pandemic, your
support will have a direct impact on the people we serve now—and into the
future! The lasting impact of your support will help us expand our services.
Thank you again for supporting our mission, the families we serve, promoting
community involvement and encouraging a lifetime of opportunities for people
with Down syndrome.




WHAT IS DOWN SYNDROME

Down syndrome is the most commonly occurring genetic condition at 1 in every 800
births. Down syndrome occurs in people of all races and economic levels. More
than 250,000 people in the United States are living with the condition.  DSG
welcomes approximately 50 new babies each year. Down syndrome is not a disease
and people do not suffer from it. They are born with Down syndrome and will have
it their whole life.
