JSDSA Step Up For Down Syndrome Walk for Ocean and Monmouth Counties

The Jersey Shore Down Syndrome Association is having its Step Up For Down Syndrome Walk on Saturday October 13. The walk is from 9 am - 1 pm, at the Wall Municipal Complex at 2700 Allaire Rd in Wall, NJ. The day will include the walk, food, prizes and fun family activities. Individuals and teams are encouraged to register to participate in this fun event. Funds raised from this event will directly support the mission of the organization, and will be the driving force behind the organization’s programs such as the desperately needed Parents First Call program, unveiling this month.

Details for the walk and online registration can be found at http://jsdsa.org and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/events/460862770598224/.

Founded in 2011, the Jersey Shore Down Syndrome Association is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization. The JSDSA relies on donations from the community as well as corporate partners within the community. The JSDSA is an affiliate of the National Down Syndrome Congress and the National Down Syndrome Society.  The Jersey Shore Down Syndrome Association covers Ocean and Monmouth Counties. It is the only non-profit organization in the Ocean County area dedicated solely to the Down syndrome community. Our mission is to empower and support individuals with Down syndrome and their families through increased awareness, advocacy, education and inclusion. Support and sponsorship of our organization will allow us to provide services to new and expectant parents, to reach out to the medical community, provide resource referrals, enrichment programs, activities, parent support groups and more, all with the goal of enhancing and enriching lives. JSDSA membership is free and open to people of all ages, including self-advocates, family members, professionals, and anyone that wishes to help support the Down syndrome community.
