Click Here to See Why We Walk! - Hi Speed
There are over 350,000 people today in the US who have Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs in approximately one in every 733 live births. Through your support and contributions, we can help improve the lives of those with Down syndrome.
Your financial contributions are vital in creating activities and programs that will enhance the quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome in Central Texas, like the following:
o New Parent Outreach;
o Recreational Classes (art, dance, music, swimming);
o Age-Specific Social Activities;
o Monthly Speaker Series;
o Bi-Monthly Educational Newsletter;
o Promoting and Encouraging Inclusion; and
o Special Education Advocacy And Training.
Your donation will also help support vital scientific research, education and inclusion programs.
We hope the 2008 Buddy Walk will break all previous records of attendance and fundraising, with our goal of 3000+ walkers and $120,000 raised! More importantly, all participants will help to spread the message of acceptance and inclusion of all people with Down syndrome that will last long after the Buddy Walk!
Each step you take and each dollar you raise helps the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas provide these programs and services.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME IN CENTRAL TEXAS!
