 At DSAA Ne we believe that individuals should not have to earn their way on to awareness posters. Every individual with Down syndrome deserves to be featured on a poster to raise awareness during October, if they want to be featured. For that reason we are offering every family one free poster. size 11x14. Do you want to make a bigger statement? The price of the free poster can be subtracted from the larger sizes posters which are available for an additional fee. You can even get a yard sign to display outside the entire month of October for just $35 Just submit a high quality or professional photo (must included a signed release) by September 20th and choose your style of poster. It is that easy. There is no limit to the number of awareness posters you can get.
