The NENDSA is a non-profit organization which serves families of children and adults with Down syndrome, and interested professionals in the Northeast Nebraska area.
NENDSA was formed in 2012 by parents who felt a need to associate more closely with other parents of children with Down syndrome.
Other goals of NENDSA are to have a yearly Buddy Walk in northeast Nebraska, bring families of children with down syndrome together, and provide information for new parents of children with down syndrome.
Please join us for our 6th Annual Buddy Walk Saturday, October 14th in Norfolk, Nebraska at 10:00 a.m. at the Norfolk YMCA on east Benjamin Ave.
Our walk has changed sites. This year the walk will be at the Norfolk YMCA on East Benjamin Avenue in Norfolk, NE
If anyone has questions about becoming an active volunteer for the Northeast Nebraska Down Syndrome Association and/or would like to help with our Buddy Walk or be a sponsor you can contact Gary Shada: 402-841-9376 or e-mail:garyshada@gmail.org.
Thank you to everyone who was a part of our 5th Annual Buddy Walk. I hope that all that attended had a great time and we hope to see you again next year. So far Northeast Nebraska Down Syndrome Association has raised just over $11,000.00. A portion of what is raised is sent to the National Down Syndrome Society in New York City. This last year a portion of the funds raised from the 2016 Buddy Walk was donated to the Embrace Park project which will be constructed southeast of the Norfolk YMCA.
NENDSA is also contributing a portion of the money raised to the Down Syndrome Alliance of the Midlands. This organization is based out of Omaha and is committed to connecting those touched by Down syndrome through education, advocacy and support.
