The day is open to all parents, children and loved ones with a passion for doing whatever it takes to improve the lives of our loved ones living with Down syndrome!

The Romp will include music, games, arts and crafts, food, drink, goody bags and prizes for people of all ages. In addition, the Romp will feature the “ Trisomy Try-Fecta” – a fun challenge in which any kid or kid at heart can partake (without breaking a sweat).  Tell your friends that you will be “romping for research and trying to score a Trisomy Try-Fecta for Down syndrome!”
