A time where our community can show up for others, by simply rocking some funky socks or wearing a designated color…
03/21- World Down Syndrome Day:
On World Down Syndrome Day, we help raise awareness by rocking a pair of fun or mismatched socks. This is an easy way to celebrate with our community and celebrate those who have Down Syndrome or know of someone with Down Syndrome. ROCK YOUR SOCKS ON MARCH 21st!
03/25- Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month:
During the month of March we celebrate those who are impacted by/with Cerebral Palsy. To help raise awareness, promote inclusion, and support research for those living with cerebral palsy. WEAR GREEN ON MARCH 25th!
04/02-Autism Acceptance Month:
On April 2nd we wear blue as a symbol of awareness and acceptance for individuals on the autism spectrum. Blue was chosen as the color to represent calmness and serenity, which is an important part of individuals with autism days who may struggle with sensory overload. LIGHT IT UP BLUE ON 4.2!
So, TLM community let’s show up and support those in our life that are impacted.
