Thank you for your interest in fundraising with LuMind IDSC.
We’re excited to Educate, Illuminate, and Celebrate with you and the Down syndrome community!

Connections are at the core of everything we do at LuMind IDSC. Whether we’re connecting with families, community members, medical professionals, or researchers, we’re making a difference by educating, illuminating, and celebrating the unique and varied needs of the Down syndrome community.

We know that your loved ones with Down syndrome face a wide range of challenges. For many families, there’s always a battle on the horizon: schools, medical care, employment, and community. LuMind IDSC is tackling some of the medical challenges such as Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer’s disease, sleep apnea, and dermatological issues, to help improve the lives of your loved ones with Down syndrome. Our goal is to continue empowering you, our families, through educational resources and community celebrations.

Today and every day, LuMind IDSC is:

• Nourishing Scientific Research & Coordinating Resource Dissemination: Fueling groundbreaking initiatives that impact the health and well-being of people with Down syndrome and creating accessible resources for self-advocates, caregivers, educators, and medical professionals.
• Fostering Community Connections: Providing both digital and in-person connections for individuals with Down syndrome and their families, reducing isolation.
• Advancing Equity, Education, and Awareness: Ensuring policymakers hear the voices of our community on medical equity and access issues, promoting education through petitions, OpEd pieces and articles, and raising awareness of research opportunities to continue improving the health and independence for people with Down syndrome.

Through your support, LuMind IDSC can continue to accelerate much-needed scientific research, disseminate crucial resources, connect families and communities, advocate for medical equity, and raise awareness of the Down syndrome community.
