We are looking forward to a FUN night that will include, bowling, shoe rental, pizza, drinks, snacks and most importantly, good times with good friends!
DSIG will pay for your child with Down syndrome, and if siblings or friends would like to attend, they may do so by paying a discounted price of $10.00 per person. The $10.00 will be collected at the door the day of the event. Please respond by the date requested with the number of guests that will be attending as we will be unable to add you on after that date! We need to give the guest count to Sproul Lanes ahead of time since we are reserving lanes!
In order to participate in this event, you must be a current paid DSIG member before the day of the event. If you are unsure if you have paid your dues for 2016, just ask and we will let you know. If you need to pay your dues, please send a check made payable to: DSIG, P.O. Box 5066, Springfield, PA 19064
Hope to see you there!

While most of us are still relishing the Eagles Super Bowl Victory earlier this month, it’s time to begin thinking of baseball and some warmer weather. This year’s Phillies team has already made some moves that should make the team more exciting than in the past few years. Once again, together with the T21 Club from Philly, Jack Malone will be coordinating our multi county Down Syndrome Awareness Night at the Phillies for DSIG. This year’s game is going back to being held on a “DOLLAR DOG NIGHT”. The Friday night experiment did not increase ticket sales as was hoped. Actually sales have fallen off in all of the counties in the past few years. The Phillies performance may have contributed to it, but we’re hoping that the dollar dog night may bring you back out. If there are enough tickets sold, one lucky child, 7 years of age or older, will be selected to take part in the first pitch ceremony. Also the first come first served event t-shirts will be available as long as enough sponsors are obtained. I’m guessing they will make that requirement. So with all that said here are the particulars for this year’s game:
WHO: Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants
DATE: Tuesday, MAY 8th
TIME: 7:05PM
COST: $38.00 PER TICKET
Handicap/companion seats are available. Our seats will be in section 206 & 207 (same sections as past years). Jack can be reached via email at [email protected], phone (484-682-5550) or text, if you are interested in tickets. Payment deadline is 4/7/18, however, Jack is asking for payment as quickly as possible after placing your order.
Checks may be made payable to:
Jack Malone
4913 Jackson Drive
Brookhaven, PA 19015.
A special “Thank You” to Jack Malone for coordinating this wonderful evening at the ball park for DSIG once again this year!
We look forward to another great night at the ball park and hope to see you there!
Maggie McHugh from Notre Dame asked me to share their bike camp information with the members of DSIG. This year they will be hosting this camp for their 9th year! I can tell you from personal experience that this was one of the best decisions that I have made in my life when I decided to sign Lauren up for this camp! We did not find this camp until Lauren was 21 years old, but I always knew that she could ride, we just needed to find the right way to teach her. Thanks to this camp, Lauren is an awesome and safe bike rider and we very much enjoy our very long bike rides in Ocean City, NJ!
When: June 25-29, 2018
Where: Academy of Notre Dame
560 Sproul Road
Villanova, PA 19085
DSIG will reimburse families who are current, paid members of DSIG, for the cost of one camp, at the completion of the camp. You will need to pay for the camp up front, and then once your child has completed the camp, you can submit a receipt for reimbursement to DSIG for the cost of the camp.
