What is DSDN Day?

DSDN Day is a day to bring our community together like never before—a day to celebrate the power of connection, the strength of our network, and the impact of supporting families from day one of a Down syndrome diagnosis. On May 1 we recognize this special day to celebrate how far we’ve come, connect with each other in meaningful ways, and ensure that no parent walks this journey alone.

DSDN Day: May 1

A Celebration of Connection, Community, and Support

Why do we celebrate?

For over a decade, DSDN has been there for families from the earliest moments of a Down syndrome diagnosis through the years that follow, offering resources and a lifeline of support. DSDN Day is about honoring that support system, strengthening our bonds, and spreading awareness so that more families can find the connection they need. It’s an opportunity to reflect on our growth, the work behind the scenes, and the powerful stories of families who find strength, connection, and hope within this community.

Why DSDN Day matters!

DSDN Day is about more than just fun events and activities—it’s about recognizing the journey and lifting each other up. It’s about making sure that every family facing a Down syndrome diagnosis knows they are never alone. By participating, sharing, and supporting, we continue to build a community where every parent feels seen, supported, and empowered.
