The proceeds of the 18th Annual Run for the Buds will go to the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware. The DSA of Delaware is a non-profit organization which 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. They and their families are effective advocates for their needs.
