WHY MARCH 21 MATTERS
3/21 is a number with a story.
March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day. The date, 3/21, stands for the three copies of chromosome 21 associated with Down syndrome.
Celebrate 3.21 is about awareness, celebrating differences and building a more inclusive community. Families matter most here, because kindness and inclusion often begin at home.
