Welcome to the Capital Area Down Syndrome Association (CADSA)
CADSA was created by parents of children with Down syndrome as a support system. Our organization offers emotional support to people with Ds and their families, and provides assistance and guidance in several areas.

And what do we do with the money raised by these fundraising events, you ask? The majority of funds that are raised by CADSA members along with their families and friends stays here in our local community (a small portion of the BW goes to the National Down Syndrome Society). 
 
In addition to the scholarship funds available each year, CADSA sponsors community-based events such as the Together . . . Let's Jam! session at MSU.

Thank you Jamie Rahrig (CADSA Board Member) and Sue Edgerton (MSU Music School) for doing what you do!
