Sonoma
County Down Syndrome Support |
This special event is made possible by the generosity of the Panasonic, which donates 40 minutes of airtime on its world-famous screen for the NDSS broadcast. The showing takes place each year on the morning of the New York City Buddy Walk and is one of the highlights of National Down Syndrome Awareness Month.
NDSS
receives thousands of photo submissions for
the Times Square Video Contest. Because the
Buddy Walk promotes acceptance and inclusion
of individuals with Down syndrome, the winning
photographs feature children, teens and adults
with Down syndrome working, playing and learning
with friends and family.
