AND EVERYONE OF ALL AGES is welcome and encouraged to attend as we rally together for our Down Syndrome Community in the Delaware Valley!

If you have never attended, we cannot wait to meet you in person! Please know, this is an event you do not want to miss! Besides the fact that it will most likely be a high scoring game, it is an opportunity to meet your social media friends from the Delaware Valley in person at one general location, providing you get tickets with our code.

For those who have attended, I know you enjoyed yourself in the past and we cannot wait to see you again. Hopefully, the weather will be perfect for us!

As a token of thanks and to continue raising AWARENESS for DOWN SYNDROME and INCLUSION in our community we give out a limited amount of..

T-SHIRTS to those WHO USE THE LINK OR CALL IN WITH OUR CODE “DSAN” TO PURCHASE TICKETS, on a first come basis at our table (exact location for t-shirt pick-up will be sent the day of the event).

By all means, use this meeting place to mingle! Use this time to meet up with OUR T21 FAMILIES who live in PA, NJ and DE! Additionally, this is a great time to take pictures for social media!

Depending on our ticket sales number, we could be given more perks. For example, one of our loved ones with T21 could throw out the first pitch and a pre-game video! Can you help to make this happen? If so, don’t delay purchasing your tickets!

How this works:
Rally your friends and family to celebrate Down Syndrome in the Delaware Valley while watching the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

We have seats reserved in sections for different pricing and locations.

Overall we average about 650 tickets each season; for those who support our DS community, please don’t delay placing your order!

Parents Night Out Bowling Event🎳 @ Sproul Lanes in Springfield
Apr 29 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Delaware County DSIG invites you to join us for a “Parents Night Out” of bowling at Sproul Lanes in Springfield, PA. This event will be held on Saturday, April 29th from 7:00 – 10:00PM. The evening of bowling and shoe rental will be free for all parents and caregivers of the DSIG. However, we encourage you to bring money for snacks, adult beverages, 50/50 and raffle baskets.

As a friendly reminder, your annual dues ($10) must be paid in order to attend the event. You can pay your dues the day of the event; please bring cash.

 RSVP by 4/20 to Megan via email [email protected].

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 are 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.
