Rock your socks for World Down Syndrome Day
Every year on March 21st, people around the world celebrate World Down Syndrome Day — a day to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and celebrate amazing individuals with Down Syndrome.
How To Join In
One of the fun and meaningful ways to join in is by wearing mismatched socks! Why? Because chromosomes are shaped like socks, and people with Down syndrome have an extra one. It’s a simple, colourful way to spark conversations and show support.
Here’s how YOU can get involved with Orchardville Society
