Join DSACO and the Ohio State University Students Supporting People with Down Syndrome group for the annual World Down Syndrome Day Celebration, featuring the Proud to Be Me Fashion Show!

We’re excited to host two fashion shows for the 2026 World Down Syndrome Day Celebration. See models with Down syndrome show off their personalities at 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Doors open at 10 AM for the 10:30 AM show and for the second show, doors will be open around 12 PM.

The Festivities will include:

• A short improv performance by DSACO’s Improv troupes
• The “Proud to Be Me” Fashion Show, featuring models with Down syndrome (two showtimes: 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM)
• A fun vendor area featuring cotton candy and balloon twisting
• Opportunities to meet and mingle with other DSACO families and DSACO staff

Registration will close on March 13, and space is limited. Models participating in the fashion show do NOT need an individual event ticket. If you have a model participating, please be sure to complete both registrations during the event registration process. Models who do not have a model ticket will not be able to participate in the fashion show.
