North Texas Giving Day (One Day A Year Event) Sept. 18, 2014

Friends & Family, Sean has Down Syndrome. And because of that our eyes and hearts have been opened to things that maybe we wouldn't be aware of it if it weren't because of him.  We have become members of 2 really awesome Down Syndrome organizations that don't ask for dues for a membership. However, they are constantly providing activities, resources, seminars, social events, local help, research, etc. for families of Down Syndrome. I know that some of you already give to charities that you think are super important and speak to your heart, we do as well, but if you could take the time to think about giving to one of these local Down Syndrome charities on behalf of Baby Sean or another person with Down Syndrome you'd really be giving back. I think it's really neat that my Dad has already started giving regularly to The National Down Syndrome Society just because he has a grandson with Downs & he also started giving regularly to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation because his great-grand daughter was born with CF. He never even thought to give to an organization like that because he wasn't aware of the need. But once he learned of the need because his family is affected by it his heart was opened. I never knew of the need for orphans, let alone Down Syndrome or CF. But I do now. I hope that you guys will take the time to donate a minimum of $25 to one or hopefully both organizations and or others.  But these 2 will definitely benefit Baby Sean.   Also your $25 donation will be matched. :-)
Here are the 2 organizations we belong to & give to.
