If you don’t normally wear socks then wear them.

The company committed to donating $15 from the sale of each pair of socks to benefit Down Syndrome. They have also recently created clothing items that can compliment those sick socks.  Make sure you post your creation to our Facebook page.  We want to see how you are participating in the Lots of Socks campaign and creating awareness this World Down Syndrome Day! \n\n  \n \nIn honor of World Down Syndrome Day\, the National Down Syndrome Congress and six other national Down syndrome organizations are promoting “Random Acts of Kindness” in the United States.  In collaboration with Down Syndrome Affiliates in Action\, Global Down Syndrome Foundation\, International Down Syndrome Coalition\, International Mosaic Down Syndrome Association\, Lumind Foundation\, National Down Syndrome Society\, we have created a toolkit for WDSD 2015 that you can use to share information about Down syndrome with your community\, celebrate people with Down syndrome\, and spread a little love and kindness in the name of Down syndrome! \n\n

SUMMARY:DSPG Kick Off Meeting - Wednesday\, September 10 @ 7pm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual kick off meeting\, Wednesday\, September 10\, 2014 at 7pm at Medaille College\, room TBA.  We will be voting on our 5 open board positions and hearing about People Inc.’s Second Family Program from the director\, Carrie Grant.  (Please email dspg@dspgwny.org for more information on open board positions.) \nPeople Inc.’s Second Family program offers a unique residential choice to individuals who have developmental disabilities. Through the Second Family program\, an individual benefits from a “family” environment with an emphasis on integrating the family\, home and lifestyle of a provider and the individual. The Second Family program is often an ideal setting for families looking for their family member to transition from their home to another similar environment. Individuals leaving their natural home for the first time often thrive in Second Family because it is designed to be as similar as possible to a natural home and family environment. The atmosphere and mission of Second Family is to provide a nurturing place for an individual with a disability to be surrounded by a family\, offering their unique care and support. Second Family is also unique in that a family can identify their own provider if they so choose! Anyone can become a provider (other than the parent of the individual with a disability) such as a fellow community member\, neighbor\, sibling\, church member ect….! \nCome see what other exciting events we have planned and share your thoughts on what is to come. \nDon’t forget to register for Step Up for Down Syndrome before September 10 to receive your free tshirt!
