The first ever TEE Up for 21 Golf Tournament was a tremendous success!
Thank you to everyone who supported and joined us last Friday. From sponsors to donors and players, we couldn’t have done it without you! The day made a huge impact to support programming and scholarships for families who have a loved one with Down syndrome. View the photo gallery here.
Our guest of honor, Chris Nikic, filled the day with inspiration and joy as golfers got to meet him and hear his incredible story about competing in the Ironman Triathlon.
The day was such a success we already have next year on the books. So save the date for Friday, April 29th, 2022!
WhizKIDS boxes are designed to keep our loved ones engaged in creating, celebrating and exploring all kinds of activities, topics and themes from the safety of their home. Each kit will also provide therapeutic-like opportunities including sensory integration, fine and gross motor skills, and STEM exercises.

This three-week long, Monday-Thursday, 9am-12:00pm camp provides an authentic school experience for children (ages 3-5) with Down syndrome during the month of July 12-30) in a supportive and fun environment.
This is especially important for children who may be going to a new school in the fall or going to preschool for the very first time, so that they are better prepared and excited to learn.
Calling all teens and adults! Join us for Social Club on weekdays at 5pm. Each day we’ve got fun activities such as Zumba, charades, virtual picnics, arts and crafts, and more!
Join us every Saturday at 10:00am on Zoom as Miss Tori teaches us basic sign language. Sign language can be an amazing tool for individuals with Down syndrome and their families to communicate with!
Introducing Camp Summer Smiles! We’re so excited to kick off our brand new summer camp for kids with Down syndrome in grades K-3. This camp is designed to encourage kids to socialize, play, share with friends, and have FUN! We will be bringing in three amazing community partners to assist with this camp and make the experience fun and meaningful. The Orlando Science Center, Orlando Fringe, and Central Florida Community Arts (CFCA) will be joining us throughout camp to bring in engaging activities ranging from science to arts.
We love our moms at DSACF! The Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida would not exist if it weren’t for our incredible moms- from the small group of moms that started our organization, to the moms that continue to volunteer their time and effort, and our moms that show their support by participating in programs and events, we’re so grateful for each and every one of you.
We want to give back and show some special love to our moms that give to their loved ones each and every day. That’s why we’ll be giving away gifts to moms for the next three days! Keep an eye on our social media, texts, and emails this Friday-Sunday to see if you’ve won!
The Central Florida D.A.D.S. are back in action! Join us on May 13th from 8:00-9:30 for our upcoming meeting (in person OR on Zoom). Learn More
