Educational Series

The Trisomy 21 Program at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, in cooperation with Hinkle, Fingles & Prior, attorneys at law, is hosting a two-part educational series on March 22 and April 26, 2014. The events will provide important information to families of children and adults with Down syndrome. The first session will focus on concerns that may arise during your child’s school-age years. The second session will educate you about resources and services available for you and your adult child after age 21.

We encourage you to attend both sessions. Space is limited, so please register early.

Please note: Childcare will not be provided.

Tickets are still available for the Down Syndrome Awareness Night at the Phillies. Same as every year, you will get a t-shirt (there are plenty but it’s first come first serve) your size may not be there if you get to the game late. The seats are in Section 206 and 207. I have 5 handicap accessible and 5 companion seats reserved. Any person with Down Syndrome above the age of 7 can have their name entered in to a drawing to possibly throw out the first pitch. This is also a dollar dog night.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves
Date: Monday, April 14, 2014
Cost : $38.00 per ticket

I must have full payment and my count in by March 14th so I am asking that you send your payment as soon as you place your ticket order. Checks may be made payable to “Jack Malone” and be mailed to me at 4913 Jackson Drive Brookhaven, Pa 19015. I know the weather is usually chilly, but dress warm and feel warm being with so many family and friends.

Thank you to Jack Malone for coordinating this event for us every year!
