Please join us this Sunday from 2-4pm at Regions Park. We will be walking to fundraise for our Down syndrome support group, PADS. You pay $10 per person (that will go towards our fundraising total) to get a t-shirt which serves as a ticket for the games and bounce houses. At around 3pm, we will begin our walk. The fundraising winners will be announced at the end.
PADS has been huge in our lives. It has been a tremendous source of comfort, support, and encouragement for us. It is where we meet with other families in our boat, encourage new families, and support our kids. Your donation funds new parent baskets, gifts for speakers at new parent meetings, meals to new parents or hospitalized kids, educational books, speakers, conferences, our Adult Down syndrome clinic and its staff, and our executive director's salary just to name a few.
Jamie currently serves on the board and I was treasurer for two years. I took a few years off after Joel was born and am now helping with new parents. This group is one that we will be connected with for the rest of our lives. We appreciate your help!
