International Mosaic Down Syndrome Association is celebrating World Down Syndrome Day in a fun and unique way. IMDSA is holding its 2nd Annual Genes Day. Genes Day™ is designed to educate and promote awareness to those in the school, workplace and community. Individuals form "Teams" and ask co-workers and classmates to "pay" to wear the "jeans" for the day. In exchange, individuals learn more about the "designer genes" in Down syndrome and how those with Down syndrome are capable of doing most anything that their peers are capable of. All funds raised during this event go towards IMDSA's Outreach & Research programs to further the education and awareness of mosaic Down syndrome and Down syndrome. The top 3 fundraising teams will receive approximately $550.00 in resources each for their efforts. For every $25 raised individuals will receive a special Genes Day T-shirt to wear with their jeans and further spread awareness. Interested participants can visit our website www.imdsa.com/genesday.htm to learn more about this exciting event!

Congratulations on another year of awareness!
