Down Syndrome Awareness Walk

A lot of people ask what they can do for this project.  I get numerous emails per week asking how they can pitch in.  In one word, YARN!  I can never have enough yarn!!  If you have some you are looking to get rid of, email me at chandosjoy@gmail.com and I will be happy to provide you with a shipping address!  The more yarn I have, the more afghans I can supply to unsuspecting recipients!

This project is about Down syndrome awareness and community ties!  My family is participating in another project and would love your support on it!

This year, our area has its very own Down syndrome Awareness Walk, complete with Rachel Coleman from Signing Time!  I will also have a booth set up representing The T21 Traveling Afghan Project at the walk, which I am all kinds of excited about!!

If you're interested in helping us raise money for this event, please visit our Team Emmalee page and select one of our team mates to donate to!  You can choose from Emmalee's mom, Emmalee's Bubba (aka brother) or Emmalee's Ashley

We will be having numerous fund-raising events between now and October to raise as much money as possible to support programs, education and awareness in our state!

Go Team Emmalee!!  And good luck to ALL the families raising money and awareness for Down syndrome!!

An Afghan Of Their Own Fund

This fund has been created through The T21 Traveling Afghan Project in order to provide afghans for children with Down syndrome who are ill or facing other challenges.

This money goes towards purchasing yarn and covering the shipping costs of the afghan. You may make a donation towards a specific child or donate to the fund in general.

When you donate, the child will be sent a card with your name on it and you will be informed as to which child your donation provided an afghan to.

If you are interesting in donating to An Afghan Of Their Own Fund, please contact me at chandosjoy@gmail.com
