What does T21 stand for?

Down syndrome is the number one chromosomal disorder and individuals with Down syndrome have an extra copy (3 instead of 2) of the 21st chromosome (Trisomy 21/ T21).

 

 



2024 Fun Run Recap

DSCBA's 3rd annual T21 Fun Run was on Saturday, 6/22/24. 

Simultaneously at two picturesque locations: In the East Bay at Lafayette Reservoir in Lafayette, and in the North Bay at Spring Lake Park in Santa Rosa. Over 150 registrants came out to run or walk along the beautiful park trails during this family-friendly outdoor activity. 

This fundraising event has not only become a tradition, but it also helps share ability awareness while opening conversations about the DSCBA’s mission with the community and curious park visitors.

  • Connect families to resources and other families.
  • Provide one-of-a-kind programs for all ages.
