World Down Syndrome Day – annually on March 21st – is officially ratified by the
United Nations. It allows communities around the world to recognize and celebrate
contributions from people with Down syndrome.
Go21
Go21 is a celebration of Down syndrome. Like how spectators in a sport
yell “Go! Team! Go!”, we are celebrating our community with this name: “Go 21!”
