Lots of Socks is Down Syndrome Ireland’s fundraising campaign in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD).  

The date for WDSD is set on the 21st day of the 3rd month as a representation of the extra copy of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome that people with Down syndrome are born with. Plus, chromosomes look a lot like socks under a microscope!  

Host a Lots of Socks party in your school, community or workplace to show your support this World Down Syndrome Day.
