Notre Dame Academy in Villanova, PA will once again be hosting a iCan Shine Bike Camp from Monday, 7/7/14 – Friday, 7/11/14. DSIG will reimburse families for the cost of the camp, which is $225, upon completion of the camp.

WOW! It’s hard to believe that we will be celebrating our 25th year of our annual walk-a-thon! The date has been set for the 25th Annual DSIG “Walk for Our Kids”! This event is our major fundraising event for the year and allows us to continue to provide outreach and social activities for our families. It’s a FUN morning and a great time to meet other families. We will need people in the group to make contact with any businesses that they know to see if they are willing to become one of our $500 sponsors for the event. As a $500 sponsor, their company logo will be featured on the back of the event t-shirt. We will also need items for baskets from businesses, baskets donated by businesses and DSIG families & friends, and raffle and silent auction items. The letter for donations is ready now, so if you have a business contact and need a letter, please send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will get one out to them. Hoping to have the walk brochures out by the end of this week, so look for that in your mail! This event takes a lot of planning and volunteers will be needed, so I’ll let you all know in the near future where help is needed. Any questions about this event, just give me a shout!

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!
