Rock Your Socks

Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day at the Maple Grove Community Center by rocking colorful socks. Enjoy carnival games, music and a fun, festive atmosphere.

March 21 recognizes those with three copies of the 21st chromosome. Socks were chosen as a symbol because the karyotype of Down syndrome chromosomes resembles mismatched socks. Each year on March 21, people around the world show support by wearing bright, mismatched socks.
