Upcoming Events

24th Annual “Walk for Our Kids” – A Walk for Down Syndrome

Please join us for another morning of FUN and friendship. We will be in need of Silent Auction items and baskets for our Basket Raffle. Also, if you have a suggestion for a new sponsor for this year, please contact Patty at, [email protected].

We will also need volunteers to help the morning of the walk, so please consider helping out. This is our main fundraiser for the year and it allows us to continue to sponsor events for our families throughout the year.

Join us for food, fun, and entertainment. This is a great chance for individuals, families, and the community to get together to help make a tremendous difference in the lives of those with Down Syndrome.

A special “Thank You” to all of our DSIG families and friends who helped to make the 2013 “Walk for Our Kids” such a huge success! 

Join us for a much needed welcome to spring event at Linvilla Orchards on Saturday, March 21st at 10:45am. The day will begin with a private hayride to Bunnyland, followed by an egg hunt in the field. Try to arrive as close to 10:45 am as possible, the wagon leaves for Bunnyland at 11:00 am sharp. If you are not in the area, you will miss the ride.  This event is completely outdoors so please dress appropriately. DSIG will not be offering food at this event, but families are encouraged to pack a lunch and eat together in the picnic area.
In an effort to build awareness, DSIG invites you to extend this invitation to your family and friends. The more the merrier! You are REQUIRED to RSVP for this free event. Please call Megan Califano at 484-472-8347 or e-mail her at [email protected]. Reservations will only be accepted up until Thursday, March 19th at noon. We’re sorry but we cannot accept any late registrations as we need to ensure there is enough eggs and candy for all children in attendance.  This rule will be STRICTLY enforced this year.

 

---

 

We are looking for a few (4 or 5) people to help us with this event, assist with minimal setup or cleanup, stay behind and “hide” the eggs while everyone is on the hayride, assist the kids with an craft project or two.  Please click here if you are interested in volunteering for this event.

 

March 21st also happens to be World Down Syndrome Day, so make sure you are rockin’ your crazy mismatched socks that day.  If someone asks you about your socks, you can then take that opportunity to tell them about someone that you love who has Down Syndrome!  If you are a member of the DSIG FB Page, we’d love to see pictures of you and your family rockin’ your socks!

Join us for dinner and dancing at the annual DSIG Holiday Party!

You must RSVP for this event by 11/18/15 to Megan Califano at [email protected].  When you RSVP, please include the names and ages of your children.  No Walk-In’s Please!

As in years past, we ask that each family brings $10 worth of non-perishable food items which will be donated to the food cupboard in Chester, PA.

Board Members will be available that night to collect $10 for dues for the 2016 membership year.

Hope to see you there!
