Down syndrome visibility and awareness matter deeply to our community. Lamar Advertising of Atlanta has given us a powerful platform to show just how amazing our community is and how beautifully we belong in the fabric of the world. 💙

🎄Head to the comments to see where you can spot our Holiday billboards around town! These billboards are part of our Buddy Walk fundraising incentives, so keep an eye out during Buddy Walk season!

Atlanta’s first Santa with Down syndrome brings representation, joy, and holiday magic to families: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/community/atlantas-first-santa-with-down-syndrome-brings-representation-joy-and-holiday-magic-to-families/85-8eb5914d-f7fb-49bd-9bfc-2daf84db1ad2?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_11Alive

Put Monday night on your calendar.

You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling you why. Santa Bradley is coming to town.

Yesss, that’s right. Santa Bradley.

So for those of you living under a rock (or don’t come during lunch), Bradley is our rockstar who greets you, seats you and sometimes brings you chips. He may dance for you too, if you’re lucky. Once you get to know him, expect a hug too.

But what you didn’t know about him, is he’s the first professional Santa Clause with Down syndrome. That’s right. He’s it. The man. The myth. And our legend.

He is giving hope to all children that Santa can look like them and that it’s okay to have a disability. He proves it day in and day out and exemplifies what it means to be active at work and in the community. And now, add an accolade; as Santa.

He has played the part at various functions, promoting the inclusivity of the holiday and he’s bringing his holiday spirit and ho-ho-ho’s here to Chupito’s Monday night.

To make it even better, we’ll donate a percentage of the sales and fun back to Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta to show our ❤️ and commitment to them.

So come join us Monday night. Even if you don’t eat, free photos with Santa Bradley. It’s going to be awesome and memorable, and we wouldn’t want it any other way!!!

Happy Hannukah! We’re wishing our friends who celebrate continued light, warmth, and meaningful moments. May these next days be filled with joy, reflection, and time together 💙🕯️

We’re heading into the final weeks of the year and wanted to pause to show you what your support actually does 💙
Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing stories of What Redefining Possible Looks Like. These are real stories that reflect the moments, connections, and support you helped make possible in our community.
💛 If you’re in a position to give, we’re so grateful 🙏 If not, sharing these stories helps just as much!
Either way, thank you for being part of this work and these moments ✨

Witnessing our community Redefine Possible is amazing!

The Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta and Christ Church Presbyterian in Buckhead host a meet-and-greet with a Santa Claus played by a 36-year-old man, Bradley Carlisle, who has Down Syndrome. Watch the wonderful holiday celebration of representation.
