GLOBAL is part of a group of Affiliates that work together every day to elongate life and improve health outcomes for people with Down Syndrome:
Thank you to NBC4 Washington for their coverage ahead of this year’s AcceptAbility Gala on May 21st. Join us as we bring together policymakers from both sides of the aisle, key scientists from NIH, sponsors with BIG hearts, and the Down syndrome community for a night of inspiration.
Medicaid is a lifeline for people with Down syndrome. GLOBAL and our Members urge Congress to safeguard and strengthen the Medicaid program and its indispensable role in supporting those with Down syndrome and others with IDD.
THANK YOU to all who wrote to Congress and who joined us and GLOBAL Spokesperson, Jamie Foxx, for our DC Fly-In! The impact of meeting with 62 Members will ensure we get the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act passed in 2025.
We’re thrilled to announce that GLOBAL
has been awarded a $10,000 grant as
part of Ball Arena’s 25th Anniversary celebration! This generous support from Kroenke Sports Charities will significantly impact our mission.
Individuals with Down syndrome benefit from opportunities to increase physical activity as well as social participation. Dance is an activity that can achieve both of these goals
