Dear family and friends,
Due to our current situation with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we cannot celebrate together in person on this day, but that won’t stop us from celebrating from wherever we might be! Let’s show our love and support to people with Down syndrome across the globe, join us this Saturday VIRTUALLY, share with us of how you’ll be celebrating World Down Syndrome Day!
We can’t wait to see your photos
Little fun fact of “Rock Your Socks” for World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) on March 21st:
These are chromosomes.
The one circled is chromosome 21 – note the three copies of the chromosome. This is Trisomy 21 also known as Down syndrome. You and I have just two copies of Chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome have 3 copies.
They look like socks, right? This is where the idea of Rock your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day was born from… simple!
On March 21st, World Down Syndrome Day, we celebrate and raise awareness by wearing our brightest, loudest socks.
And why is WDSD held on March 21st?
21:3 (chromosome 21, 3 copies = 21st day of 3rd month of the year)

Dear Family and Friends,
Due to the fast-growing situation with the coronavirus, we have decided to cancel all our activities for the remainder of March.
World Down Syndrome Day is on Saturday, March 21st, show your support wherever you are. You can either wear your crazy/funky/mixed match socks; wear yellow and blue; dress up/dress down with our WDSD shirt/socks or do it all to help support all people with Down syndrome across the world!
And don’t forget to share with us on social media.
Stay Healthy!
