Wear Your Mismatched Socks For World Down Syndrome Day 3/21

Tomorrow is World Down Syndrome Day and you can help spread awareness by wearing bright colored mismatched socks. “We hope you’ll rock your socks. That’s just going to bring awareness. People are going to be like, ‘Why are you wearing those socks?’ And then that opens up that conversation you can say, ‘I’m wearing them for my friends that have Down Syndrome,” shared Down Syndrome Association of the Heartland spokesperson Tonya House. The organization offers programs for all ages. “We have lots of family events, and then we have weekly programming such as music therapy, art classes, cooking classes and circle time for our younger ones. So we have lots of programs that we do throughout the month every month. And then, you know, our bigger events and quarterly events and things like that. We are (available) from your prenatal diagnosis to legacy.” To make a donation or more information, visit d-s-heartland.org.
