Book distribution  - Each year in conjunction with Down Syndrome Awareness Month (October) the association purchases books for distribution to local schools, universities, doctors offices, hospitals and other agencies.  The purpose is to generate community awareness of Down syndrome as well as provide resources to service providers to the Down syndrome community.
