WOW WEDNESDAY!
🥇❄️ We are so proud to congratulate Elana Meyers Taylor for winning GOLD for Team USA in bobsledding!

Elana is not only an Olympic gold medalist — she’s also a powerful disability advocate and mom to Nico, who has Down syndrome. 💙💛

And here at the Eastern Pennsylvania Down Syndrome Center, we know firsthand what *mom power* can do — because our very Center exists today thanks to the vision and determination of some incredible moms.

Thank you, Elana, for representing families like ours everywhere — and congratulations! 🏆

☕️ Way to go, Bethlehem Area School District!

Programs like STEPS are exactly how students with disabilities build real job skills, confidence, and independence—one shift (and one cup of coffee) at a time.

And keep an eye out… you might even spot a familiar face in this story 😉

💙 A huge THANK YOU to Sean from Born This Way for the generous donation of Seanese onesies for our New & Expecting Parents Welcome Packages! These onesies are more than adorable—they’re a message of pride, love, and belonging, and we’re so grateful to include them in our kits.

💛 Know someone who has recently received a Down syndrome diagnosis—or are you expecting yourself? We’d love to support them. Reach out to us and we’ll be happy to send one of these Welcome Packages their way.

Community like this makes all the difference. 💫
