Why Participate?

Serving the Green River District, the Green River Area Down Syndrome Association (GRADSA) supports hundreds of families and individuals with a Down syndrome connection across ALL ages & stages.

We are here to: Educate, Advocate and Celebrate

We Educate by sharing resources with our community and families to bring awareness and disability visibility throughout the Green River District.

We Advocate for the future of individuals with Down syndrome. We are affiliated with the National Down Syndrome Society and Down Syndrome Affiliates in Action and are invested in giving individuals with Down syndrome a better quality of life than yesterday.

We Celebrate individuals with Down syndrome, their families and caregivers by hosting engagement events to build lifelong friendships.

How Your Support Makes a Difference

We are there for the milestones, the celebrations, the tough days and the great ones... providing the tools, resources, techniques and programs our members need to reach their full potential. We fundraise to enrich the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and to support their families right here in the Green River District.

All incentives are cumulative—the more your team raises, the more you earn! As you hit each fundraising milestone, your team will receive the reward for that level plus all previous levels. It’s our way of saying thank you for going the extra mile to support individuals with Down syndrome and the mission of GRADSA.
