World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) is on March 21st each year. It is a global day of awareness. The goal is to help people understand and support those with Down syndrome. The date being the 21st day of the 3rd month was chosen to represent the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

​On March 21st, choose some socks that are going to get noticed! They might be mismatched socks or your boldest and most colorful socks!

Believe it or not, socks get people talking! The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks, you can tell them, “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”. Then, you can tell them everything you want them to know about Down syndrome.

Help us reach our goal of 321 community sock photos on March 21st using the hashtag #NDRocksSocks
