Receiving the news that our 8-year-old son had Down syndrome was a pivotal moment. Yet, after a tough year, we found a beacon of hope in DSAG-Baton Rouge.

Our family cannot thank DSAG enough for the incredible support and love they’ve shown to our son, Harrison, and to us as a family. From the moment we connected with DSAG, we felt an overwhelming sense of belonging and understanding. This organization has been a beacon of hope, guidance, and encouragement as we navigate the joys and challenges of raising a child with Mosaic Down Syndrome.

Harrison is the light of our lives, and seeing him thrive with the resources, programs, and community that DSAG provides fills our hearts with gratitude. Whether it’s through fantastic family events or simply knowing we have a network of people who truly “get it,” DSAG has made a profound impact on our lives. They’ve not only supported Harrison but have also given us the tools and confidence to be the best advocates for him.

We are so grateful for the kindness, dedication, and passion that DSAG pours into every family they touch. They’ve become more than an organization to us—they’re family. Thank you for being a constant source of strength and for helping Harrison shine even brighter.

SO THIS SATURDAY, we're proud to stand with them and other families to celebrate and uplift each other. We encourage you to join our team and support this incredible organization that works tirelessly to enrich the lives of those with Down syndrome.

There’s so much for your family to do and enjoy so if you haven’t made plans, come and see us at The Buddy Walk!!

We are raising money to help fund all of the activities and services they provide for the families in our great city!

This cause is one close to our hearts as we support not only our own loved one with Down syndrome, but also the more than 400,000 other individuals with Down syndrome across the United States. Our collective passion for this cause drives us, and we need your support to make a difference! Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.
