Want to get your community more involved in raising Down syndrome awareness? Want to make a difference in the lives of people with Down syndrome? Organize a Community Fundraiser and you can do both!

What Are Community Fundraisers?
Community Fundraisers are events organized by individuals who want to become more involved in the Down syndrome community, promote acceptance and inclusion, and support the mission of the MDSC. The event could vary from anything such as a lemonade stand to a 5k race or a dinner party... the choice is yours!
