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.

As in the past, we ask that you RSVP responsibly. With the rising costs of these events, we introduced a new policy where you will be charged should you RSVP and not show up for the event. We understand emergencies and other situations occur however, the organization can no longer absorb the cost of these events when people are a no show.

For this particular event, we ask that if there is a change to your RSVP that you notify us within 24 hours of the event. If we are not notified in the appropriate amount of time, you will be charged the amount that the organization was charged for this event.

You will be required to pay that before you will be allowed to attend any other DSIG events. We hope that you understand how hard it was for us to make this decision, but this is our way of trying to keep costs down for our families. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your support in this matter.
