Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day - Tuesday, March 21
World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), March 21, is a global awareness day
which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012. The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. Since the chromosomes look like socks, wear bold, brightly colored, mismatched socks. So when someone asks, "What's with the socks?" it's the
perfect opportunity to share about WDSD! For WDSD 2023, we call for people and organizations to be: With Us Not For Us. You can also support DSAP's Rock Your Socks for WDSD Fundraiser by purchasing a pair of PALS socks here! We look forward to seeing how you rock your socks! When you share photos, use the tags #WorldDownSyndromeDay #WithUsNotForUs #dsapgh
