October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month

Can we raise an additional $50,000 online by the end of this October, National Down Syndrome Awareness Month? I believe we can! In order to do this, we only need 200 of our 238 fundraisers to raise $250.00. Sound hard? It’s not; and here’s how we can raise the money and have a huge positive impact on Down Syndrome Indiana:

How to Raise $250 in Only Ten Days

Day 1. Make your own $25 contribution = $25

Day 2. Ask your significant other to also contribute $25 = $50

Did you know that in the 2013 budget, DSI has to double the amount of money it spends on New Parent Packets because DSI is reaching so many new families? It’s true thanks to your help!
