Mile High Down Syndrome Association's
Down For Change™
Program

Won’t you help us spread the word about our new Down for Change™ program!

MHDSA is partnering with The Colorado Crush and two local, up-and-coming bands to bring exciting incentives to high school students who participate in this innovative awareness and fundraising project. Spread the word – ask your local high school to get involved!

What Exactly is “Down for Change™”?

It’s a campaign to ignite passion, change and a sense of community within Colorado high schools for individuals with Down syndrome. Down for Change™ doubles as a service project and fundraiser for high school sports teams and service clubs and also Mile High Down Syndrome Association!

In every high school your star athletes, band leaders, cheerleaders and student council members walk the halls and high five their friends, chat next to their lockers and even rally together for the Friday night football game. What often stands out is your football star making the day of someone with Down syndrome by giving them a high five and making them feel as important as their other friends.

Students with Down syndrome are loved by their peers. Yet sometimes misunderstood, too. With your help, we want to bring change to school communities! We’re bringing awareness to area schools by partnering with schools’ clubs and sports teams and letting students develop a fundraising campaign around “Down for Change™”.
