The Ups of Downs is a newly formed group within this past year. They are members of the Tri-State Downs Syndrome Support Group. Before these special people in our area got together to form their own chapter the nearest support group for families with children of Downs Syndrome was in Jefferson or Mahoney Counties. We call them special people because the Good Lord only chooses special ones to care for and tenderly love His children of Downs. They are blessed with their charges.
The event planned for this coming Saturday is much more than just a fund raiser. Part of the mission of the Ups of Downs group is to promote awareness and inclusion of children and adults with Downs Syndrome. These children may have a different face but their feelings of needing love and laughter are the same as you and me. The proceeds from this first Annual Awareness Walk will go to support and promote the mission of the Ups of Downs group.
There will be plenty of activities for the children. Food will be available. There will be a Chinese Auction, a 50/50, door prizes and a raffle for $250 worth of fresh cut meat from Beresford Market. Tee-shirts will be included with the $10 registration fee while supplies last.
Your support and understanding will be greatly appreciated. Spencer, Nikki & Doug, along with all the members of the group, cordially invite you to join them Saturday at Tomlison Run Park.
See you there...
