Dear Down Syndrome Community:
We are thrilled to announce that Down Syndrome Connection of Anne Arundel County (DSC) is merging with Chesapeake Down Syndrome Parent Group (CDSPG) to expand support and resources for individuals with Down Syndrome in Central Maryland.
Your investments of time, talent, treasure, and connection have supported CDSPG to become the oldest and the largest Ds organization in the state and for those who are members of DCS, has also made DSC a wonderful hub of connection for families in Anne Arundel County. We do not take this opportunity lightly.
CDSPG recently welcomed our first full-time Executive Director so that our organization can provide consistent, timely, high-quality programming and support. This merger will provide DSC families more direct access to this resource, while also providing a broader platform of support for the incredible initiatives of DSC’s volunteers.
We know we can do great things together and we are so excited to be joining forces - to serve and advocate for the amazing families in our broader community.
