One day each year, the video monitors of Times Square showcase photos of children, teens, and adults with Down Syndrome doing typical things like working, playing, and learning. The motivation behind the event is to promote inclusion and to highlight the positive impact people with Down Syndrome have on their communities.
Savannah Rose is one of this year’s ambassadors. Her photo was picked from more than 2,400 entries.
Savannah’s grinning face will be showcased on two jumbo screens during the event. The video presentation will be followed by the New York City Buddy Walk through Central Park.
The event will be live streamed on the NDSS Facebook page from 8:30 a.m. to 19:30 a.m. CST.
