Thank you for donating to Jack's Pack! This year we are proud to walk for our favorite buddy, Jackson. Over the past two years, Jackson has showed us what true strength is. He has worked so hard in his short life to accomplish milestones that do not come as easy to him. Jackson shows us what true joy looks like. His big smile, booming laugh and overall happiness is inspiring. We hope to raise money to continue to support the CCDSIG and their pursuit of programs, therapy and events for its members.
The Chester County Down syndrome Interest Group (CCDSIG) is a nonprofit organization that began in 1998 with a group of parents who wanted to meet for social contact and support. We are students, we are lawyers, we are teachers, we are scientists, we are tradesmen, we are bankers, we are homemakers, we are doctors; we are all people whose lives have been touched by Down syndrome. Our goals have now expanded to include reaching out to new families, providing educational and social opportunities for our existing members, and educating the community in order to promote awareness and inclusion of persons with Down syndrome.
The Chester County Down syndrome Interest Group Inc.’s mission, the UPSIDE of Down syndrome:
- Unite all members, including people with Down syndrome, their families, their friends and acquaintances.
- Provide outreach to new families, giving them information, networking opportunities, and support.
- Supply a means of social interaction for all members.
