The mission of the DSANM is to provide support for individuals, families and caregivers affected by Down syndrome. We offer hope, encouragement and acceptance through advocacy, education and awareness.

Down syndrome Awarness Month here we come!

We have some really exciting events scheduled in October, which just happens to be Down syndrome Awarness Month!

The Drinkrow family is adopting a little boy from Russia with Down syndrome! They will be holding an 80’s Dance Party fundraiser to “Bring Hunter Home” on October 1, 2011 at Mt. Holiday here in Traverse City!  Max Dingeman and his dance partner, Jennifer Howard will be making a special apperance at the dance and we are lucky enough for a sneak peak dance performance! For more information on this event or to purchase tickets please contact Amanda at 231-360-5049 or to make a donation, visit http://reecesrainbow.org/sponsordrinkrow

On October 21, 2011 we need to “Give Max a Hand” when Max and Jennifer  perform in the Swingshift and the Stars dance-off for charity. Max will be dancing for VSA arts which has been assisting hundreds of adults and children with special needs in this community for 15 years!  To purchase tickets and/or to make a donation to VSA arts, please contact COH Box Office at 941-8082 or visit swingshiftandthestars.com
