November News for You!
Down Syndrome Innovations offers services and supports at every age and stage to help your baby grow and thrive.
This monthly newsletter is created for you and your family!
We LOVE it when families come together at our Expectant & New Parent Gatherings! In fact, we've heard many times that these events are where people meet lifelong friends!
We will continue to host our quarterly, Expectant & New Parent/Caregiver and extended family breakfasts next year! So stay tuned for 2023 dates!
We continue to be overwhelmed by the commitment of generosity of those who walk alongside us on this journey of providing life-changing services and support to people with Down syndrome of all ages!
Did you know that 93% of families engaged in our services have benefitted from at least one service or event that was fully funded by philanthropy. That means 93% of families we serve have participated in at least one complimentary/free family event, service, program or educational seminar! We would like to keep that possible for years to come!
While the true impact of our donors is immeasurable, we see it every day in the successes of the people we serve—and we know that the impact is tremendous!
