~ Our 2019 Mission ~
           this year, we continue our mission to help Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona put on a second annual Winter wonderland prom in December!  The 2018 event was a huge success and will be back by popular demand.
Additionally, we have two other missions we will be completing in 2019:
  1. Support Comicare - these highly motivated volunteers dress up as comic book superheroes and visit children's hospitals throughout the west half of the country.  We will raise some funds for their cause!
  2. adopt a platoon- TFA will be adopting "E" Co. 2/23 (echo company, 2nd battalion, 23rd Marines).  A portion of the funds raised will be used to send care packages to the deployed Marines.  They are sending "wish Lists" as well, and there will be an option to donate requested items in addition to funds.
  Our goal is to raise $8,000 to make all these come to life!

FUNDRAISING MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!  IN PLANNING

Founded in 1991 by Gina Johnson, the Mission of Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona is to educate and empower, but especially give hope to individuals who have Down syndrome so they may grow up to become independent self-advocates. We champion and celebrate ALL people who have Down syndrome. We promote positive acceptance, understanding, and inclusion is embraced by all as we celebrate each life.  The vision of Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona is to provide a world with equal rights and opportunities for all people who have Down syndrome.
