The 3rd World Down Syndrome Day was be held on 3/21/08 (3/21 for the triplication of chromosome
21, which is the cause of Down syndrome). Down syndrome organizations around the globe
organized events to promote acceptance and awareness of individuals with Down syndrome and to
celebrate their achievements.
Down Syndrome Support Network21: Supporting Families with Down Syndrome is a parent-run
organization serving Central New Jersey. We connect and support parents, caregivers, and
individuals with Down syndrome and identify and share resources that can positively impact the
lives of people with Down syndrome in our community. We meet monthly (usually the 3rd Wednesday
evening of the month), host quarterly Family Fun Days, fundraise for our local Buddy Walk, and
share information and support via our website ( www.dsnetwork21.org) and online message board.
All events are free. If you would like more information about upcoming Network21 events, please
contact Amy Geoffroy at 732-390-0108 (H), 508-740-6820 (C), or geoffroyamy@gmail.com.
