For Vollbrachts, supporting Global is a family investment
For Bill and Leslie Vollbracht, supporting the Global Down Syndrome Foundation is a family investment in their granddaughter and others who have Down syndrome.
Seasoned entrepreneurs, the Vollbrachts are betting on Global’s research, medical care and outreach. They recently sat down with Global to talk about Colorado, family and why support for Down syndrome medical care and research is so important.

5. How do you feel about your daughter and son-in-law managing the information age, work, children, and becoming advocates for people with Down syndrome?
6. What do you want people to know about Katherine?
7. What is the best thing about being a grandparent?
8. You are part of the Leadership Circle supporting Global’s marquee fundraiser and awareness-raiser – the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show. Why should people support and attend this event?
