Carter, a sweet little 7-year-old with adorable glasses and high energy, learning to vocalize and laughing non-stop with his big sister.
At seven-years old, he is beyond affectionate, giving endless smiles with his newly most tooth, thumbs up and laughs to all around him. He loves pretending to be Buzz Lightyear and everything Disney. The reason he's thriving? Because of the support of local Down syndrome organizations like the Down Syndrome Association of Northeast Ohio (DSANEO).
That's why we're inviting YOU to join or donate to Carter & Company for the 2024 Northeast Ohio Buddy Walk®—to support people with Down syndrome in our community. Please support our efforts as an advocate for the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. You don’t need to walk with us to make a difference, you can make a difference from home.
We are walking to show our support for all our Buddies with Down syndrome and their families in Northeast Ohio! Every dollar we raise brings us one step closer to ensuring that our child and every individual will have the opportunity to reach their potential.
Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services, as well as National Down Syndrome Society advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Make your tax-deductible donation today and take the first step toward helping us achieve our goal. Thank you for your support!
