The goal of the 2023 SMILE ON DOWN SYNDROME SMILE MILE is to celebrate National Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. We will raise money to support critical programs; our goal is to raise $75,000 to help support the goals of S.M.I.L.E. on Down Syndrome. SMILE serves hundreds of families who have a loved one with Down syndrome, and has expanded to reach the disability community as a whole. The SMILE Center was opened in 2011 at 105 NW 4th St., Evansville, IN and continues to provide vital opportunities for people of all ages from newborns to adults.
