Dear WONDERFUL Family, Friends and Supporters,

Happy Thanksgiving from your GLOBAL Family! We are so pleased that our hard work is paying off with so many tangible strides. With YOUR support, we have more research, more medical care, and more advocacy that is creating healthier, longer lives for our loved ones with Down syndrome. During this special holiday of thanks, we want to send you all our love and appreciation!

We are thankful for:

Our CHAMPIONS IN CONGRESS and at the NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH) for working with GLOBAL and our self-advocates to create the NIH Down syndrome research program called INCLUDE, which has funded $440 million in life-changing Down syndrome grants over the last seven years! And to Jamie Foxx, Mr. George Dixon, Deidra Dixon and our AMAZING Congressional Co-Sponsors of the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act.
