Rock your Socks

It all began with Sherm's Catering when I, Sherm, received a call from a friend whose nephew had Down Syndrome. He asked if I could support his nephew's school fundraiser by purchasing some socks. "How much are they?" I inquired. "Just a buck a pair," he replied. Without hesitation, I ordered 20 pairs. These socks were then displayed at the CHS Memorial Fire Hall, where curious passersby asked about the contents of the bag. I proudly explained that they were socks for my friend's nephew's school. By day's end, the bag was empty—every pair sold. When I called my friend to replenish the stock, I realized there was something special about these socks.

Fast forward to our first year running the Bistro @ Prides Crossing, where we sold an astonishing 500 pairs of socks. I'm eager to replicate this success again this year. I urge you to join me in supporting this cause by purchasing a few pairs and spreading the joy, just as I've done every year!

How it works:

On March 21 2024, the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware will be joining other schools, businesses, and organizations around the world in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day. 

Together we will create a single global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well-being of people with Down syndrome in our schools, community, and around the world. 3/21, World Down Syndrome Day, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which is Down syndrome.

 The Down Syndrome Association of Delaware started the Rock Your Socks program in 2014 and now distributes over 100,000 pairs of socks every year! 

100% of the money goes directly to Down Syndrome Association of Delaware!
