Big Game Ball benefiting NDSC

The Big Game Ball is an event to honor inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs serving those with intellectual disability and individuals and organizations advancing opportunities for those with Down syndrome to attend these postsecondary education programs.

Congratulations to this year’s honorees:

• The University of Tennessee FUTURE Program
• Syracuse University InclusiveU
• Berry College Inclusive Program
• State Of The Art Conference (SOTA)

The 2025 Big Game Ball honorees exemplify the priorities of NDSC to:

• Raise awareness in our community about postsecondary education opportunities for students with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities,
• Increase access to inclusive postsecondary opportunities for students with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities.
• Promote high-quality, inclusive postsecondary programs for individuals with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, and
• Advocate for educators who will continue to forge the path of inclusive education at all levels,

all of which lead to meaningful employment, independent living, and improved quality of life for people with Down syndrome.

We look forward to seeing you at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA, on August 27 for the 4th Annual Big Game Ball.

When you support the Big Game Ball, you are helping to reshape the way people understand and experience Down syndrome and create a world where parents are no longer counseled to institutionalize their child with Down syndrome but to save for them to attend an institute of higher education.
