Awareness Campaign
IMDSA’s mosaic Down syndrome Awareness Campaign runs every year throughout the month of March to celebrate and raise awareness of mDs and World Down Syndrome Day. This year, we have decided to go a step further by creating a story page of each individual to showcase and share their life. This story can then be shared however the family wishes - email, text, Facebook, Instagram and X (Twitter) are all options! We plan to feature individuals and their fundraising page starting on February 24th through March 21st on IMDSA's Facebook and Instagram to highlight their extraordinary lives!

What is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD)?
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), March 21, is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012.
The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
