Thank you for joining us!
The 9th Annual “You Make Me Better” Gala was a powerful evening of honoring those we love with Down syndrome and the ways they make us better. We are so thankful to each person who joined us in person or online to help celebrate our mission. Because of you, we are able to say YES to more babies, more families, more love, and more hope!
Feeling inspired? See below for ways to get involved with our mission and help celebrate babies with Down syndrome:
It’s not too late to support our mission! We’ll be celebrating Down Syndrome Awareness Month all October long! Help us celebrate more babies by filling a basket for a new family.
