Join us for an exciting wrestling match to support the MDSC! This family-friendly event is open to individuals with Down syndrome aged 13+, as well as their family members and friends. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the MDSC.
Your ticket includes entry to the event, a food voucher for 2 pieces of pizza (gluten-free available), soda or water, chips, candy, and a 50/50 raffle ticket!
For our sensory-sensitive guests, please note that there will be speakers playing music during the beginning and end of matches. There will also be some music played before the show and during intermission. Wrestling fans may also be cheering loudly throughout the show, so we recommend bringing noise-reducing headphones.
Parking is available in the back of the building and on the side street next to the parking lot. The front side of the building has a handicapped accessible entrance/lift.
Don’t miss out on this fun-filled evening for a great cause!
*Please note, this is NOT a drop off event. Parents and/or caregivers are required to stay for the duration of this event.
Each month, we offer a virtual support group for breastfeeding, pumping, and expectant mothers of babies with Down syndrome, co-moderated by Jill Rabin, SLP, IBCLC and Rachel Murphy, RN, IBCLC mother of breastfed child with Down syndrome. Come share about your journey, meet other mothers, and ask any questions you may have! Common topics include sleepiness, weight gain, NICU stay, getting back to breast, breastfeeding with cardiac or other conditions or surgeries. Please note time zone and adjust accordingly.
We may occasionally welcome medical students who are interested in gaining information and insight about breastfeeding babies with Down syndrome to benefit their knowledge and practice.
To ensure the respectful space of expectant and new moms, we ask that you find a private space for this meeting and please note that dads/male partners are not allowed to participate. We hope you appreciate the sensitivities and safe space we provide. We look forward to meeting you!
The group is free, but advanced registration is required.
This group typically meets the first Thursday of each month, but exact dates show when you register below! You will be sent a Zoom link for each session you register for.
