Online Giving
Family Engagement Picnic
Our Family Engagement Picnic is an annual event provided for families being supported by our organization and typically takes place in February. Parents come together for a great day of fun and relaxation to network and share stories with other parents who have children with disabilities. This annual picnic allows children to play together in a safe and nurturing environment where everyone’s “abilities” are celebrated.
Community agencies and sponsor partners are invited to join the fun and help provide community resources to help parents get the information they need to thrive. Interested in joining our event? Please contact us for more information.

#WorldDownSyndromeDay #dreambigforkidswithdisabilities
Today is World Down Syndrome Day.
March 21st is set aside to advocate for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people with Down syndrome. Around 1 in every 800 babies will be born with Down syndrome, a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome in the cells that make up their body and causes differences in how the body and brain develop. Down syndrome affects people differently.
Many people with disabilities report feeling lonely. We can all work together to make it a more accepting, supportive and inclusive world for everyone. Let`s create spaces that are welcoming, where all talents and contributions are celebrated!
