Our Charity Partners
We are thrilled to announce that this year we are partnering with the Arthritis Foundation and the Black Down's Syndrome Association.
Since 1948, the Arthritis Foundation has led the fight to conquer arthritis, which now affects nearly 60 million adults and 300,000 children in the United States as well as their families and loved ones.
The Black Down Syndrome Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing Black families with the resources and support they need for their loved ones with Down Syndrome. Founded in 2022 by two Black mothers who have Black sons with Down Syndrome, the organization works to create a culturally competent, safe space for Black families and their loved ones with Down Syndrome.
We're proud to support these two incredible organizations, and we encourage anyone who wants to get involved or make a difference to visit their site to learn more about their incredible organization.
