Desoto Celebrates the Abilities of Individuals with Down Syndrome!

Join us for an inspiring and educational event hosted by the Black Down Syndrome Association (BDSA) and Myles Place Foundation, as we come together to raise awareness about Down syndrome and honor the remarkable achievements of individuals with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.

At this special event, we aim to foster a greater understanding of Down syndrome and promote inclusivity within our diverse community. It's an opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate the unique abilities and talents that individuals with Down syndrome possess.

What to Expect:

-Engaging Presentations: Hear from individuals with Down syndrome, and their families as they share personal stories, insights, and experiences.

- Community Resources: Explore a variety of local organizations and resources that offer support, guidance, and services to individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

- Silent Auction: Bid on a fantastic array of items generously donated by community members and businesses, with proceeds benefiting the BDSA and their valuable programming.

This event aims to create a positive impact, broaden perspectives, and nurture a community that embraces diversity. Everyone is welcome, and we encourage you to bring family, friends, and colleagues to join in this celebration of abilities.

Mark your calendars now and be part of this memorable event. Together, let's advocate for greater acceptance and understanding of individuals with Down syndrome!
