 World Down Syndrome DayMarch 21, 2010
Every year, on March 21 (to honor the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome presented in Down syndrome), the world comes together to raise awareness and advocate for people living with Down syndrome. Because Reece's Rainbow has an international focus, we are doing our part to further the recognition of this very special day!
The primary focus of our ministry is to promote the international adoption and rescue of children with Down syndrome (and other special needs). But our ultimate goal is to be a catalyst for social change abroad. With every successful adoption, and now through our "Connecting the Rainbow" program, we hope to bring education and advocacy to those countries where people with disabilities are still left in orphanages and mental institutions.
With your help, one day there will no longer be a need for Reece's Rainbow!
We'd like to ask everyone who visits this page to use our amazing graphic everywhere you can!
 From March 1 - March 22, save it to your hard drive, post it as your profile photo on Facebook, use it on your blogs, and/or purchase a shirt to wear proudly throughout the year! This is a great opportunity for parents, grandparents, siblings, students, self-advocates, ANYONE to show your support for people with Down syndrome, and to UNITE as a force for LIFE. Recent media coverage in People Magazine and other international outlets can make 2010 the best year ever for awareness and advocacy. This little boy pictured to the right is REECE...he is MY inspiration, he is MY reason to fight for others like him. Who is yours?
