Our Mission

It is the mission of the Alaska Chapter National Down Syndrome Network to provide education and information for members, new parents, and the community as a whole, to give parent-to-parent support to families of children with Down Syndrome, to gather socially and share experiences, and to be an advocacy group for individuals with Down Syndrome.

Every year, we gather and celebrate our community at our Alaska Walk for Down Syndrome, one of our largest fundraisers. Please join us by signing up to attend or by leaving a donation help us reach our goal and help fund our organization's critical programs.
