People always ask me how they can get more involved with Ruby’s Rainbow and how they can help us make an even bigger impact in the lives of people with Down syndrome. Joining our 3/21 Pledge Committee is probably one of the easiest opportunities!! You don’t have to be an expert at fundraising…you just have to have the belief that people with Down syndrome are worthy and capable and a passion to shout that worth from the rooftops!!

The 3/21 Pledge has been such a huge part of all of this- not only in raising scholarship funds- but being able to show more people that these opportunities are available and that peeps with Down syndrome are achieving these dreams and more!! I have a pretty big dream myself that I am putting out into the universe to see if it sticks. Last year, our Pledge Committee consisted of 24 mamas who ended up raising over $100k of the $213k raised. Just think what we can accomplish if we can expand this Committee to more mamas, dads, loved ones, ANYONE who wants to join us in helping us shout their worth over the two weeks leading up to World Down Syndrome Day this 3/21…I CAN’T EVEN!!!

So… what is my ultimate dream? To have 4 Pledge Committee Members in each state! That’s right. I am putting it out there! I hope to connect them ALL to build a strong community of believers and to help us continue to be able to help as many peeps a year as we can.
