The 2009 2nd annual Treasure Coast Down Syndrome Awareness Group Buddy Walk was truly a success!!
We were blessed with wonderful weather, a safe walk, tremendous entertainment, good food , increased Down Syndrome awareness and amazing fundraising! For those of you that were able to attend and contribute to our success, I thank you! For those of you that could not make it, we kept you in our thoughts and know that you were with us in spirit.
Last but not least thanks to all who have guided us from the beginning of this amazing journey and continue to hold our hands in everything we do.
Our team brought in over $10,000 and money is still coming in! A huge round of applause goes out to the Lopez Family, McKesson, Boars Head, Laurie and Gary Frost and the Jackson Family that were our major contributors and helped us raise funds! You truly helped spread awareness about Down syndrome through your efforts! I also want to thank each and every one of you that raised donations as an individual walker. Thank you for your support!
I want to take a moment to mention our sponsors, donors and volunteers. Our walk is growing larger every year and with an increase in size, comes an increase in cost to put the Walk on. Below are sponsors that contributed to the 2009 Treasure Coast Down Syndrome Awareness Group Buddy Walk. Their support is greatly appreciated! There were some cash donations and I may have missed some names. Please know how much your contributions are appreciated.
Check out a great video created by Cindy Lenz I know you will enjoy!

Lena has many years experience in this position and is a wealth of information about all things dealing with pre-school. She will be able to answer any questions you have and address any concerns.
As the parent of a child with a disability she is a strong advocate for children with disabilities in the school system. She is looking forward to sharing information with parents, so please make every effort to attend this meeting.
All 3 year old children with Down syndrome qualify for the developmentally delayed pre-school program the school district offers and often also qualify for speech therapy, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Lena can answer any questions you have about how this will work for your child.
