Washington DC area magician Don Juan again performs for the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Maryland

The Magician Don Juan had previously performed at the annual Buddy Walk to fundraise for the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Maryland.

WALDORF, MARYLAND, UNITED STATES, April 15, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Each year, the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Maryland holds the Buddy Walk to fundraise. Those funds are used to support families of individuals with Down Syndrome with programming throughout the year and scholarships for summer camps.

The Down Syndrome Association of Southern Maryland represents a group of parents and professionals in Southern Maryland who share a vision for persons with Down syndrome.

“Down syndrome” (trisomy 21) is one of the most common chromosome abnormalities in humans. In most cases, Down syndrome is caused by trisomy 21 (meaning the person has three copies of chromosome 21, instead of the usual two copies, in all cells). Children born with Down syndrome may have physical growth delays, some intellectual disability, and facial features characteristic of the syndrome.

The Association’s activities include:
• Serving as an educational resource for the general public about Down syndrome.
• Providing a clearinghouse of information for families of those individuals with Down syndrome.
• Providing active social support for the families of those individuals with Down syndrome.
• Increasing awareness and understanding of the physical, mental and emotional aspects of Down syndrome, and to expand the public’s conception of the capabilities and social value of individuals with this condition.

On October 9, 2022, Magician Don Juan again did his part and provided entertainment at the Buddy Walk. Explains Keisha Morris, who is on the Executive Board of the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Maryland, "We are so glad that Don Juan the Magician once again supported our event with his show. He sure is a crowd pleaser for all ages! He again put together an amazing show that brought smiles, laughter, and amazement. Everybody in the audience wonders ‘how did he DO that’? For our Association, the audience participation in particular was a great feature at the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Maryland's annual Buddy Walk, and we were thrilled to have Don Juan join us. We can't wait to see him again next October for this great fundraising event that brings money and awareness to Down Syndrome!"

“As usual, I’m glad I was able to contribute to this worthwhile event. This supports the Association’s activities to enrich the lives of children with Down syndrome, such as camps, mini golf, and outings,” noted Don Juan himself.
