💙💛We’re excited to share that Bitty & Beau’s Coffee in Bethlehem will be celebrating World Down Syndrome Day this Saturday by giving away yellow roses with each order (while supplies last). Even more generously, they will be donating 10% of all net sales from the day to EPDSC.

Bitty & Beau’s is open from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM, and they would love to see members of our community stop by to celebrate ☕

We are incredibly grateful for their support of EPDSC and the Down syndrome community! 💙💛

Still smiling when we think about last Friday’s Mama Pajama Party 💛

It was a relaxing evening filled with connection, laughter, and much-needed downtime for moms. The room was full of warmth, understanding, and genuine support — such a gift to simply slow down and enjoy time together.

A special thank you to Whole Foods Market for providing the delicious snacks and drinks that made the night even more enjoyable!

We’re sharing a few photos from this special evening. We’re so grateful for every mama who came out and took time for herself — you deserve it! 💛
