Participate in Sustain 21

Sustain 21 is DSAW's monthly giving program where supporters like YOU can dramatically impact the lives of our friends with Down syndrome and their families by effortlessly making a monthly gift.  This regular financial support shifts focus away from endlessly raising funds to building stronger relationships with our supported families and enhancing current programming. Sustain 21 allows the true heroes of the programs to get the full attention they deserve.
