Get Down For Down Syndrome Fundraiser

Fairlawn, OH — A Medina couple is working to deliver laughs to raise funds to benefit the Down Syndrome (DS) community. Rob and Ellen Snow organized the nonprofit organization Stand Up For Downs (SUFD) in 2012 after the birth of their son, Henry, in 2009. The organization presents stand-up comedy shows in support of programs and services that benefit the DS community. It also presents an annual fundraiser, Get Down For Down Syndrome.  The event, sponsored by the Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board, is the organization’s biggest fundraiser.  Natalie Herbick, of Fox 8 Cleveland’s “New Day Cleveland,” will be the master of ceremonies, and 1970s’ disco entertainment and dancing, as well as a silent auction, a chance raffle and other activities are planned. There also will be an open bar and hors d’oeuvres, and disco attire is being encouraged.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
