DSWA Lots of Socks Fundraiser
World Down Syndrome Day is on the 21st March 2025 and is the day we celebrate the uniqueness and contribution of our community with a Lots of Socks campaign. The 21st day of March (the 3rd month of the year) was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
Of course, whilst WDSD is on Friday 21st March, you can host a Lots of Socks event on any day that suits you best! Our special day of celebration falls within Harmony Week from 18 – 24 March 2024 and links beautifully with the themes of inclusion and equity.
How can you get involved?
Join the international campaign and host a Lots of Socks Day at your workplace, school, community organisation or social group. Ask people to wear their brightest and most interesting socks and donate a gold coin to Down Syndrome Western Australia. All funds go directly to DSWA and provide vital support for individuals with Down syndrome and their families in WA.
All funds can be deposited directly to DSWA – please contact us for the details – admin@downsyndromewa.org.au or 08 6182 3690.
