EMPOWERING, EDUCATING, CELEBRATING & MAKING FRIENDS SINCE 1991
Our mission is to provide education, support, and opportunities to people with Down syndrome and their families. We operate in the Greater Rochester area and are a network of families, professionals, self-advocates, and friends who all share in the joys and challenges of a Down syndrome diagnosis. We know that people with Down syndrome have valuable contributions to make to their communities. We work to ensure that their full potential is met and included in every aspect of their communities. We know firsthand what you are experiencing and we are here to answer all questions about Down syndrome.
EMPOWERING & EDUCATING
Flower City Down Syndrome Network believes that knowledge is power. We hope that the information we continually update and provide on our website to our network will empower individuals with Down syndrome and families supporting a loved one with Down syndrome. We are here to help.
We also have social groups for parents and children of all ages to learn from one another and empower each other. Find out more here!
CELEBRATING INCLUSIVENESS & MAKING FRIENDS SINCE 1991
Flower City Down Syndrome Network is a community-based non-profit that has been making friends and operating since 1991. Our passion is to celebrate inclusiveness and we thrive on going out into our local community with our loved ones with Down syndrome to enjoy our city and grow and learn together. And boy do we have fun doing it!
We have many social groups and events for parents and children of all ages to celebrate the lucky few and make friends!
WHY GIVE TO FCDSN?
People often say they give in order to “make a difference.” This phrase means different things to different people. By donating to Flower City Down Syndrome Network (FCDSN), it means you will be making a difference and helping us fulfill our mission to empower individuals, educate families, enhance communities and together, celebrate the extraordinary lives of people with Down syndrome.
Your donation enables us to do such things as offer social group outings for our members and their families, provide Welcome Baskets to new and expectant parents, host Moms group events, reimbursements and more. These are just few ways in which your giving will make a difference!
To those of you have supported the FCDSN in the past - thank you! We hope that your generosity towards our mission continues. To those of you who may be first-time donors, we urge you to explore our website to learn more about our programs and how we strive to serve individuals with Down syndrome and their families in the Greater Rochester community.
