Thanks for partnering this summer. Can’t wait until next year!!!

COACH APPRECIATION MONTH FEATURE: Mark Encell

Mark is a key piece of Adapted Tennis in the Twin Cities, with one of his most notable involvements being his summer tennis camp partnered with the Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota.

He says, “when I became a certified tennis instructor several years ago, creating a class like this was always something I wanted to do. I love teaching tennis and I love working with these individuals so combining these two passions of mine with this tennis camp for kids with Downs Syndrome represents for me, the best of all possible worlds!”

Thank you for all you do Mark!

Submit Your Photo for Our 2027 Calendar and WDSD Campaign Video!!!

The theme for our 2027 calendar is See Me, celebrating the personalities, interests, strengths, relationships, and dreams of people with Down syndrome. We want to fill the pages and the big screen at Mall of America with people with Down syndrome of every age from communities across Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

Send us a photo, and if you would like, a line or two to finish the sentence "see me as..." It might be a role, a talent, something they're proud of, or how they want the world to see them.

Submissions due Saturday, October 31
