Why is World Down Syndrome Day celebrated on March 21s!?
World Down Syndrome Day is observed on March 21 (3/21) to reflect the genetics behind the diagnosis.
Down syndrome occurs when a person has three copies of the 21st chromosome- Trisomy 21. The date 3/21 is a direct reflection of that. For us, this day is about recognizing the inherent worth of every individual and celebrating the gift of Down syndrome -just as it is.
