Happy World Down Syndrome Month!
Mar 21 all-day

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
Details about the fundraiser:

$15 per tumbler
Colors: Black tumbler with a choice of silver arrows (pictured above), Black tumbler with DS yellow and blue arrows

Two options for receiving your tumbler:
pick-up at a local Delco locations (time and places TBD), shipping (shipping cost will be added to final price).

This fundraiser will run throughout the month of March.

If you would like to order a tumbler, please complete the order form by clicking the link below.

THE EGG HUNT ON MARCH 24th IS CANCELLED @ Thornbury Park

THE EGG HUNT ON MARCH 24th IS CANCELLED @ Thornbury Park

Sadly, we have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel the upcoming Egg Hunt that was scheduled for this weekend 3/24. The cancellation is due to a low turnout which we suspect is from it landing on a holiday weekend, and with individuals having Special Olympics swimming. Next year, we will make sure to plan it further in advance and pick a weekend that more people would be able to attend.

Thank you for understanding, and we hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
