CRDSS History

Centre County Down Syndrome Society was established in 2003 by a group of parents to serve as table talk resource for families working their way through the world of special needs as it pertains to Down syndrome. We are thrilled to serve and live "Life to the Fullest" throughout the region. Thus, the board of directors unanimously voted in 2015 to change our name to Centre Region Down Syndrome Society and introduce a new logo that identifies us with our mission of serving families throughout Central Pennsylvania. 

CRDSS will make available for public inspection the last three years of its tax documents, including Internal Revenue Service Forms 990. Copies will be provided within 30 days of the request. 

CRDSS families may request a copy of the latest balance sheet as well as minutes of board meetings.
