Community Participation Fund

The DSAGC is pleased to have been awarded $2,500 to support families who wish to enroll their children with Down syndrome under 18, in inclusive social or recreational opportunities. The CVS Community Participation Fund will provide up to $200.00 per family per year to help pay for costs related to activities such as Boy/Girl Scouts, Gymboree, ballet, swimming, dance, etc. These activities must be open to all children with and without disabilities.
