A wonderful evening giving “Three Cheers for World Down Syndrome Day!”

It was a beautifully blended example of community. Friends new and old. Extra chromosomes and standard 46. Babies and young adults. All sharing stories, experiences, beers and cheers.

We were blown away by the turnout, shocked by the people coming near and far to celebrate (many grateful for the opportunity to attend something in our area) and humbled by the support for our mission.

We can’t wait till next year!!!

Why Socks? We wear crazy mismatched socks because

Why Socks? We wear crazy mismatched socks because no two people are exactly the same, and those differences can make the perfect pair!

Down Syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome that makes the 21st grouping of chromosomes a trio instead of a pair.

🧬 DNA is contained in chromosomes.
Chromosomes are inside the nucleus of a cell.
Cells make up every part of a person
Every person is uniquely made to be different.
Different is a good thing!

Down syndrome is diagnosed with a karyotype test. This is a test to examine chromosomes in a sample of cells. This test can help identify genetic issues as the cause of a disorder/disease or identify chromosome abnormalities, such as Trisomy 21 (which is commonly referred to as Down Syndrome.) A karyotype test produces a “picture” of the chromosomes in an isolated cell that is arranged and labs each set of chromosomes. This image looks like pairs of silly colorful socks.

So now you know…the connection between crazy socks and Down Syndrome. Do you have yours ready for World Down Syndrome Day on March 21st?

We visited local elementary schools this week to donate books on Down Syndrome, disabilities and inclusion to school libraries as resources for teachers and students! 📚🐝

Thank you to our educational partners who see value in educating and creating awareness inside their hallways for their special needs students. We are blessed to have such amazing schools and educators in our community.

Ya’ll ROCK!!

Save the date to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day on 3/21!

Why 3/21? Because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of the 21st chromosome (everyone else has 2copies) So we celebrate the lil extra that makes Down Syndrome extraordinary on the 21st day of the 3rd month of the year!!
