Happy World Down Syndrome Day!
Coronavirus may stop us from gathering in person but it won’t stop us from celebrating our wonderful community!

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters, Now more than ever, GLOBAL and the people with Down syndrome we serve need your help. Many people with Down syndrome are considered “high risk” for Coronavirus (COVID-19) according to the Centers of Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health. Despite having to cancel fundraisers and important advocacy work in Washington, D.C., we at GLOBAL are leading the charge and have put together a comprehensive page with important facts related to Coronavirus and Down syndrome that strongly encourages our constituents to take our governments’ prevention recommendations seriously. We are fortunate and deeply grateful to an anonymous donor providing us a $5K matching grant to honor World Down Syndrome Day on Saturday, March 21st. Will you help us during this difficult time and make your impact on World Down Syndrome Day? From now until a week after March 21st, you can help us raise $5,000—your gift of ANY size will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your support and please have a SAFE and Happy World Down Syndrome Day! Gratefully, |
