To provide Support, Resources and Advocacy, with the aim of increasing Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion in Bay county and surrounding areas!

DSAEC creates resources to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families and caregivers across the lifespan and hosts awareness and engagement events throughout the area including the National Buddy Walk® Program, events for 3.21 on World Down Syndrome Day, Run for 3.21, family outings, monthly events, and regional support for the community.
