3. Seek Gift Card Donations
Help us secure gift card donations from your local Dunkin, grocery store, and more!
We use gift cards to:
- Pay for snacks for DSAmd community-building meetups
- Give to individuals with Down syndrome as prizes for participating in research surveys, giving their opinions about DSAmd programs, and for winning at games - like bingo!
- Support families with new babies who have Down syndrome
