The Check in for Charity for September and October is The Down Syndrome Association of Connecticut is a statewide organization who supports families and individuals in Connecticut who live with Down Syndrome through friendship, education and advocacy.
Our own Coach Nicole Bacon is personally connected to this charity as her beautiful niece, Mikayla (who is now 13 years old) was born with DS. Each year her family and close friends participate in their largest fundraiser, The Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk, their team name is Marching for Mikayla. The 2023 annual Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk is at the New Britain Bees stadium in New Britain Connecticut on Saturday September 30th from 10AM until 2PM. They even have the option to do a virtual walk for those who can not make it in person!
To show our support, SIN Fitness will donate 50cents for every Facebook check in for the months of September and October. This donation will go directly to the Down Syndrome Association of Connecticut to support their cause in helping families toward their mission of inclusion. DS ACT supports federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and policies that provide accommodations and support in natural community settings.
