World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated throughout the world on March 21^st.  The date was chosen because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of the 21^st chromosome. The goal is to promote knowledge and understanding, seek international support, and achieve dignity, equal rights and a better life for people with Down syndrome everywhere.
