Community is Everything to CDSS

When friends, family, and co-workers come together to help, we are inspired!

Inspiration can come from a hobby, talent, or something totally new! Turn your idea into a fundraising opportunity and help us continue our work for the Down syndrome community. Starting a community fundraiser is easy and fun, and we are here to help you along the way. There are so many ways people and groups like you can support life-changing projects by activating your passion and harnessing your community.

Do you have a fundraising idea you’d like to discuss? Please feel free to connect with us by emailing PamelaM@CDSS.ca or by calling our team at 1-800-883-5608.
