Today: Danie’s Day at JCU – Spread the Word

Do you have a family member or friend with Down syndrome? If so, this individual and their parent/caretaker are invited to join us for Danie’s Day on Saturday, March 14 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Danie’s Day is a special event in memory of Danielle Rose ’15. Danielle Rose was an Arrupe Scholar, whose passions were rooted in helping children like her sister, April, who has Down syndrome. Danielle passed away in September 2012, and her classmates decided to establish an event to keep her commitment to helping those with disabilities alive.

Co-sponsored by the Students for Social Justice and Sigma Phi Epsilon and in partnership with Northeast Ohio’s UpSide of Downs organization, Danie’s Day is an event where JCU students will be paired with children and adults with special needs to partake in activities including karaoke, crafts, and games.

Encourage families/caregivers of individuals with Down syndrome to partake in Danie’s Day on March 14! They can visit http://sites.jcu.edu/studentssocialjustice/pages/kids/daniesday/ to get more information and find the links to register for the event.

If you have any questions, please email daniesday@jcu.edu. Thank you!
