How has it already been one month since our Toledo Buddy Walk?? We are still feeling so grateful for all of the support that was shown to us this year and thanks to every dollar raised this year, we are able to continue offering top quality programs to individuals with Down syndrome and their families throughout Northwest Ohio and Southern Michigan.

This past weekend our sweet friend Luke got to live out his dream of being a part of the University of Michigan Wolverines football team thanks to the incredible work of Dream on 3! We were lucky enough to be a part of his send off on Friday as he and his family left for Ann Arbor, one of the most special moments we've experienced all year! 🥹

As Down Syndrome Awareness Month draws to a close, we can't help but reminisce about this year's Toledo Buddy Walk. As Northwest Ohio's largest Down syndrome Awareness event, this year brought together nearly 1,400 people to celebrate the incredible individuals with Down syndrome that we are lucky to serve. We're so grateful to everyone who made that day possible.

Today we had the absolute pleasure of visiting our friend Iris' classroom in celebration of Down Syndrome Awareness Month!

We got to share a story with them about how being different is a great thing to be, talked about Down Syndrome and that kids like Iris are more alike than different and its important to be kind and a good friend. We ended our time with them with custom coloring books all about Iris!
