Fighters For Finn
Join us on Saturday, September 28, 2024 from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM at the New Britain Stadium, 230 John Karbonic Way, New Britain, CT.
Welcome to our Connecticut Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk team fundraising page! We are walking to show our support for individuals with Down syndrome. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to ensuring that every individual will have the opportunity to reach his or her potential.
Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Here are a few things about DS ACT:
- Our Literacy Education Center provides one-to-one literacy tutoring for individuals who have Down syndrome.
- We hold and sponsor workshops and trainings for parents, educators, and medical professionals to share up-to-date medical research, best educational practices, and long-term planning information.
- Our First Call program supports new parents of babies with Down syndrome and those who receive a prenatal diagnosis. First Call conducts outreach and educational services for medical professionals and students who are pursuing healthcare degrees.
- Our Siblings First Call program provides peer support to school-age brothers and sisters of children with Down syndrome.
- We continue to sponsor social activities for families so they may share information and support one another.
- We provide grants to schools and other organizations to support the inclusion of people with Down syndrome.
- We collaborate with other organizations to educate parents about their child’s IEP and their legal rights.
- The Advocacy Avengers is the DS ACT teen and young adult support group for individuals who have Down syndrome that meets monthly.
- We fund a camp grant program to benefit individuals with Down syndrome.
Make your tax-deductible donation today and take the first step toward helping me achieve my goal. Thank you for your support!
