Join us next Monday, 3/23 in showing support and building awareness for World Down Syndrome Day by rocking your brightly colored, silly, or mismatched socks! We wear our mismatched socks to celebrate the unique differences that make our world brighter. Just as socks may be different colors or patterns, they can happily be worn together if we accept and welcome the differences.

We thank you for participating in this worldwide celebration and for "Rocking Your Socks" with us!
