World Down Syndrome Day is one of the most important dates in the Sunshine & Smile calendar, and we’d like to thank everyone who supported us and donated last Friday.
We’ll be sharing individual thank yous over the coming weeks, but for now we’d like to thank Tie Dye Seas, Making A Difference Locally (the Nisa charitable foundation), German Exiles Rugby League club, Churwell Primary School, Weetwood Primary School and Leeds City Council for lighting up our civic buildings blue and yellow (the official colours for Down syndrome awareness) on Friday.
Please let us know if you or your organisation did something in support of us for World Down Syndrome Day so that we can thank you!
