As we step into 2026, all of us at the York Area Down Syndrome Association (YADSA) are filled with excitement for the year ahead! We have so many wonderful events and opportunities planned, and we can’t wait to celebrate, connect, and grow with our amazing community.
This year, we are especially looking forward to World Down Syndrome Day on George Street, a vibrant celebration that brings awareness, joy, and inclusivity to our community. It’s always a heartwarming experience to see so many people come together in support of individuals with Down syndrome.
Our annual Buddy Walk is another highlight on the horizon. This cherished tradition is not just a walk—it’s a celebration of friendship, acceptance, and the incredible achievements of those with Down syndrome and their families. Mark your calendars and get ready to join us for a day filled with fun, laughter, and community spirit.
2026 will also shine a spotlight on YADSA in the news! We’re thrilled to share that our work and the stories of our members will be featured, helping us reach even more families and supporters across York and beyond. It’s an honor to showcase the strength, resilience, and joy of the individuals and families we serve.
As always, none of this would be possible without our wonderful members, volunteers, and supporters. We are grateful for every one of you and can’t wait to make 2026 a year full of connection, celebration, and positive impact.
Stay tuned for more updates on events and opportunities to get involved. Together, we can continue to build a more inclusive and supportive community for all.
Here’s to an amazing 2026 with YADSA!
