3.21 IS WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY

To celebrate World Down Syndrome Day (3/21) the Delaware County Down Syndrome Interest Group is hosting a fundraiser with the chance to own a beautiful tumbler, pictured below. The 20 oz. black tumbler features a three arrow design which is symbolic in the Down syndrome community. It represents the three copies of the 21st chromosome that occur in Down syndrome. An arrow must first be pulled back in order to expel forward. While the initial diagnosis may cause a “pull-back” thanks to support, community and love your arrow will quickly be sprung forward to amazing heights! This quote is meaningful to the lucky few that get to experience life with a family member or loved one who has DS.

$15 per tumbler = black with silver decoration
