As Giving Tuesday nears, please consider sharing your Time, Talent, or Treasure with NADS!

Whether is it through volunteering your time at our events, becoming a Support Parent, serving on our Executive Board, or through financial support, gifts of all sizes are so greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING NADS!!

Did You Know...

ANYONE CAN REFER A FAMILY TO NADS?!

Do you know a family that would benefit from NADS' Support and Services?

While we pride ourselves on partnering with 46 hospitals in the Chicagoland area, you don't have to work in the medical field to connect a family with NADS!

Family, friends, neighbors - if you know of someone that has or is expecting a child with Down syndrome, we would love to connect with them!
