Description

Celebrate the weekend of World Down Syndrome Day with us through a morning of movement by the shore and an after-party as lively as our community is. 

We are thrilled to bring this annual race to one of our favorite spots: The Starboard! Join us at this amazing venue to celebrate the individuals in our community with Down syndrome, to raise awareness for our mission, and to support the programs, events, and resources we provide to our members throughout their entire lives. 

The proceeds of the 19th Annual Run for the Buds benefit the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware. The DSA of Delaware is a nonprofit organization that supports families, promotes community involvement, and encourages a lifetime of opportunities for people with Down syndrome. We envision a community in which individuals with Down syndrome are healthy, happy, and successful!
