2025 BDSA Family Reunion Conference
Why the BDSA Family Reunion Matters So Much
At the Black Down Syndrome Association (BDSA), we believe that representation, connection, and community are not optional—they’re essential. That’s why the BDSA Family Reunion is more than just an event. It’s a sacred space where our families come together, not just to share stories, but to be seen, celebrated, and supported.
​
For many of us, this is the only place where we don’t have to explain our journey. Where our children with Down syndrome are embraced in their full brilliance. Where parents, siblings, and caregivers can breathe a little deeper knowing that every person in the room just gets it.
​
This reunion is a place of joy and education, empowerment and healing. It’s where we offer culturally relevant resources, mental health support, educational workshops, and moments of fun and laughter—specifically designed for Black families navigating life with Down syndrome.
​
The purpose is simple but powerful: to uplift and equip families who are often left out of the national conversation. To show our kids that they are not only included—they are the reason this space exists.
Every donation, every volunteer hour, every ounce of support helps us bring this vision to life. And in doing so, we create a ripple effect of love, pride, and purpose that reaches far beyond the walls of the event.
This isn’t just a reunion—it’s a homecoming.. We can't wait to welcome you home!
