 
North
Central Kansas Down Syndrome Society is a nonprofit organization whose
mission is to provide support and resources to individuals with Down
Syndrome and their families.
The
NCKDSS was established in 2002 by two families in the NCK community.
Their mission was to ensure their children full potential in community
life. This mission is being fullfilled through education, research, and
advocacy.
The Society has grown
through various activities engagements and community awareness
programs. Each October, which is National Down Syndrome Awareness
month, NCKDSS sponsors a "Buddy Walk" to promote the acceptance of all
people with Down Syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown every year from 30
participants to over 225 participants. We will be posting information for our 2009 Buddy Walk on the NDSS.org Buddy Walk website.
