Down Syndrome Awareness Week begins on March 15 and promotes awareness, inclusion, and understanding for people with Down syndrome. Organizations, schools, healthcare providers, and community groups across the United States and the international community organize educational events, advocacy campaigns, and fundraising activities that highlight the abilities and achievements of individuals with Down syndrome. The observance also encourages better access to health services, education, employment, and community support, helping create a more inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
