This is awesome!! Thank you for all you do 💙💛💙

Today, our DSCGC Board had the opportunity to provide lunch and connect with Erlanger Health System social workers about our mission, community resources, and how we can best support families receiving a new Down syndrome diagnosis.

We’re so grateful for the chance to build stronger connections with the professionals who are often among the very first to walk alongside new families. 💙💛

For years, our amazing Downside Up volunteers have shown up at Ironman Chattanooga — bright and early, full of energy, cheering on athletes and making sure they feel the love as they take on one of the hardest challenges out there.

And leading our crew every year is our fearless captain, Lynne Rankin 💙💙We are so incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and heart she pours into organizing our team and bringing our friends and family together.

What makes this even more special is that our volunteers aren’t just helping athletes cross the finish line — they’re helping Downside Up make a difference for children with disabilities and their families. Through the Ironman Foundation, the volunteer support from our incredible team helps Downside Up receive grant funding that goes right back into the programs, experiences, and support we provide to our families.

So to every friend, family member, board member, volunteer, and cheerleader who has gotten up early, stood along the course, handed out water, clapped, yelled, encouraged, and showed up year after year — THANK YOU! 🏆🎉

And Lynne…thank you for being our fearless captain and keeping this crew going!

We may be cheering for the athletes, but they are helping us cheer even louder for the families we serve. That’s what community is all about. 💙

A HUGE thank you to our friends for another incredible Giveback Month supporting Downside Up! 🧡🧡

For years, the OddStory team has generously supported Downside Up through Giveback Nights and round-ups, and this September was no exception. We are so grateful for their continued generosity, their incredible team, and the way they continue to show up for children with disabilities and their families.

And, of course, we have to give a BIG shoutout to all of YOU — our Downside Up families, teachers, friends, and supporters — who show up, grab a drink, bring your people, round up your bill, and help make nights like these so meaningful.

It takes a community to create a place where every child is seen, valued, celebrated, and included — and we are so thankful to have a community like ours.

Thank you, OddStory, for believing in our mission and continuing to pour back into the families we serve. We are incredibly grateful for you!

Cheers to community, kindness, and making an impact together! 🧡🧡

Willow Primary 💛💛💛 We are so grateful for the amazing littles who fill our classroom each day — children of all abilities who are learning, growing, playing, and becoming friends along the way.

And behind every special moment are teachers who pour their hearts into these amazing students. Their passion, patience, creativity, and genuine love for each child are what make Willow so special.

One of our favorite parts of this program is watching our littles experience something so important: meaningful social interaction and friendship. They are learning to share, communicate, encourage one another, celebrate differences, and simply enjoy being together.

We are so proud of our Willow Primary family and so thankful for the teachers, therapists, families, and community that make this possible.

Here’s to a year full of learning, laughter, friendship, and celebrating every ability!

We had two weeks of camp this summer for middle schoolers, & as usual it was a good time!!! Karaoke, games, puzzles, gardening, water play, dancing, art, therapy dogs, food, & FRIENDS💕🎉 this is what it’s all about, & we are so happy to be a small part in the lives of these amazing campers each year. All of the middle school group has been with us since they were littles, & it’s like homecoming each year. It’s a privilege to watch them grow into teens & see all the amazing things they are doing!! Thanks to our team of counselors who make the magic happen & create joyful memories for our campers🎉
