NDSS Tribute Cards Inspired by Annie Clancy
 NDSS is pleased to introduce a line of tribute cards inspired by Self-Advocate Annie Clancy. Annie is fully-included in high school in Fairfield, CT. The youngest of four children, Annie enjoys skiing, biking, swimming, singing, dancing and spending time with her family and puppy. Her passion and dream is to open a studio from which she will sell the clothes she has been designing for the past six years.
With each purchase of a pack of NDSS tribute cards, 100% of your donation will go towards supporting the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. Please use these cards to commemorate special events, honor community members, and to share your thoughts and wishes on memorable occasions. Each time you send a card to one of your personal contacts, you are helping NDSS raise awareness about Down syndrome.
Call NDSS at 800-221-4602 to purchase tribute cards and learn more about Annie and other artists with Down syndrome. If you prefer to mail or fax your order, download and complete the order form and send it to the NDSS office. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.

Okobos Buddy Walk® Footwear
  NDSS is thrilled to partner with Okobos, a socially-conscious company whose mission shares common themes and goals of the National Buddy Walk® program.
Okobos was co-founded in 2007 by Michelle and Tom Juza and is headquartered in Oneida, Wisconsin. The Okobos brand was founded with one guiding vision - to collectively gather the threads of high quality products, morally conscious consumers, for-profit business principles and social-minded endeavors, and weave them together to create the synergistic fabric for the company.
The Okobos brand is synonymous with benevolence and self expression. Okobos is footwear that reflects who you are. Okobos shoes feature a unique attachment system that allows you to customize your shoes (called Okobits). It’s an easy and fun way to express your personal style, support a cause, and create awareness. Think of it as high style for a higher purpose!
Okobos believes:
• When a child is nourished in mind, body and spirit, he/she can reach his/her potential. • When you provide people and organizations with the means to give, their generosity will exceed your wildest dreams. • When we all take ownership in an idea, we can turn it into action. • When we all walk together, we can go farther than we ever dreamed. • It is good to walk. It’s even better when you walk with a purpose—to walk for a cause that you really care about. NDSS has partnered with the Okobos Walking Together Program to raise awareness about the Buddy Walk®, a national program that promotes the acceptance and inclusion of all people with Down syndrome. A custom Okobit, the ornamental part of the footwear, was designed for the Buddy Walk®.
A portion of all sales are donated to important causes through the Okobos Foundation. Okobos will donate $25 to the National Down Syndrome Society for every pair of shoes you purchase when you enter "NDSS" in the Donation Code box at checkout. In addition, $10 is donated to the Okobos Foundation to support other worldwide initiatives!

The Story…
By Deirdre Featherstone
When our daughter Catherine was born, my husband and I found out she had Down syndrome. As you know, that’s a life changing experience. We didn’t yet know that the change would be for the better!
Within hours of her birth, my dear friend was in touch with NDSS, asking for every piece of information she could get her hands on. What would we have done without them? The staff was so warm and welcoming. We wanted to give something back. We had the idea to make a piece of jewelry – this is not unusual for us, we think of jewelry for everything! As we got to know Catherine, we knew this jewel had to signify celebration. I selected a bow because she is our greatest gift and added the third ribbon to symbolize the third copy of chromosome 21.
We want people whose lives are touched by Down syndrome to wear this pin and feel connected to every other person out there who understands this world we live in every day – a world of challenges, surprises and unparalleled joy. We want you to see each other on the street – and everywhere – share your stories and realize that we truly are a community. My hope is that through this pin, Featherstone Design supports NDSS, and allows all of us to get one step closer to our dreams.
For each pin purchased, Featherstone Design will donate 75% of the purchase price to the National Down Syndrome Society. Thank you for your support.
If your jewelry tastes go beyond what you see on the Featherstone Design website, Deirdre and her team are happy to speak with you about custom items that suit your style and best honor your loved one with Down syndrome. A Bow Pin can be customized by adding a child's birth stone or upgrading to gold or platinum, or an entirely new piece (necklace, earrings, ring, charms) can be designed. Call the Featherstone Design studio at 212-343-0604 and share your story with them.
