A huge thank you to Walter Rouse and 801 Chophouse for hosting us at the Champions of Change Charity Event this past weekend! We are honored to have been selected as a beneficiary alongside MADD.

It was such a joy to spend time with Walter, his teammates, family, and friends and to feel the incredible support surrounding this event.

Your support helps us continue changing the way the world views Down syndrome and spreading a message of acceptance for all.💙💛
