关于我们
The Global Down Syndrome Foundation is a public 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to significantly improving the lives of people with Down syndrome through Research, Medical Care, Education and Advocacy. Founded in 2009, Global has the primary focus of supporting the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome, the first academic home in the U.S. committed to research and medical care for people with the condition, and the Anna and John J. Sie Center for Down Syndrome at Children's Hospital Colorado, the largest multidisciplinary team focused on medical care for pediatric and adolescent patients with Down syndrome in the U.S. Fundraising and government advocacy that corrects the alarming disparity of national funding for people with Down syndrome is a major short-term goal. Global organizes the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show -- the single-largest annual fundraiser benefiting people with Down syndrome -- and the Be Beautiful Be Yourself DC Gala. Programmatically, Global organizes and funds many programs and conferences, including the Dare to Play Football and Cheer Camps, Global Down Syndrome Educational Series, and Be Beautiful Be Yourself Dance Program. Global is an inclusive organization without political or religious affiliation or intention.

?? THANK YOU SENATOR MARKWAYNE MULLIN FROM THE GREAT STATE OF OKLAHOMA FOR CO-SPONSORING! ?? GLOBAL is proud to share that Senator Markwayne Mullin is co-sponsoring the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act! This legacy bill, named in memory of our beloved GLOBAL Ambassador DeOndra Dixon (who happens to be Jamie Foxx’s little sister), will ensure that Down syndrome research at NIH continues to elongate life and dramatically improve health outcomes for people with Down syndrome. HUGE Shout out to DSA of Central Oklahoma, Sarah Soell and her constituents for helping us make this happen. We are deeply grateful that the U.S. House of Representatives passed the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act (H.R. 7406) earlier this month. ?? ?? THANK YOU again to our Congressional Champions, Reps. McMorris Rodgers, DeGette, Cole, DeLauro, Stauber, Holmes Norton, Trone and Pallone for working across the aisle to fast-track our bill’s approval. Next up: It’s imperative that this bill pass in the Senate with a $250 million/year cap—reach out to your U.S. Senators and ask them to cosponsor the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act (S. 3981) TODAY! We’re working with Senators Hickenlooper, Moran, Booker and Mullin to rally bipartisan support in the Senate. ?? Self-advocates you helped us cross the finish line in the House, now help us cross that finish line in the Senate!!!! ?? Act Now: Contact your Senators today: https://bit.ly/3ArbCao #disabilityinclusion #disabilityawareness #disabilityrights #congress #downsyndromerocks #dsrocks #downsyndromelove #downsyndromeawareness #t21 #globalrocks #downsyndromeworld #downsyndrome #nonprofit #denvernonprofit
