Volunteer News: May 2025
Hello there!
Below are three opportunities to get involved with the Down Syndrome Association of Maryland this month and beyond.
Thank you for being a part of our mission to create an inclusive and supportive community for all. If you have questions, please reach out!
1. Seek Gift Card Donations
Help us secure gift card donations from your local Dunkin, grocery store, and more. We use gift cards to:
- Pay for snacks for DSAmd community-building meetups
- Give to individuals with Down syndrome as prizes for participating in research surveys, giving their opinions about DSAmd programs, and for winning at games - like bingo!
- Support families with new babies who have Down syndrome
Let us know if you have questions or ideas - or need guidance! Download a letter to request donations.
2. Support Individuals with Down syndrome and Enjoy a Night of Laughs
We're hosting a Comedy Show featuring professional comedian Dan Kulp, with DSAmd The Improvaneer Method performers as the opening act!
Saturday, June 28th | 4PM - 6PM
Towson Unitarian Universalist Church, Timonium
