March 21st is Down Syndrome Day and Rock Your socks day, this is a day to wear unique and attractive socks and bring awareness to the cause. In 2013, the theme of wearing unique socks was initiated to raise awareness of Down Syndrome, and the idea was created because chromosomes are shaped “like socks,” and people with Down Syndrome have an extra chromosome. Our staff each paid a $5 toll to rock our wild and colourful socks. The total was matched by You Make Me Smile and donated to the Canadian Down Syndrome Society.
