Did you know that one in 700 babies in the US are born with Down syndrome? It's like winning the lottery ... AND boy did we ever with Jude Alexander!! Rockin' the extra 21st chromosome potentially means physical, emotional, and/or cognitive challenges, as well as the need for advocacy and inclusion. The Down syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO) strives to provide tools and opportunities that promote awareness, acceptance, and inclusion within our communities. They support individuals with Down syndrome and their families from the point of diagnosis through every step of their journey, and every dollar we raise brings us one step closer to ensuring that Jude and every individual with Down syndrome have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services through DSACO, as well as National Down syndrome Society advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome. Words can not fully describe the impact of every dollar fundraised -- DSACO reaches out to families after receiving the news that their baby was blessed with an extra chromosome. These families benefit from the support to know that they "are not alone" to navigate the resources and services that individuals with Ds often benefit from, and to feel the kindness and support of this amazing community. I promise you, dollar for dollar, your donation makes a difference! Proceeds from every shirt sold will directly benefit families with Down syndrome. Please join our family and Team Hey Jude in supporting DSACO and all individuals with Down syndrome!
