Celebrating the talents and passions of the Down syndrome and special needs community

Hello Friends and Supporters – 

Inspired by my son Troy, for 20+ years we have hosted our Annual Summer Double Dip fundraiser to raise awareness and funding for the Down syndrome and special needs community. 

This event has become a summer highlight for many (especially us!), with a night filled with love, laughter, music, great food, friends, and family. 

Join us for this year’s event:
Saturday July 27th, 2024
5:00-10:00 pm
East Hampton, NY
 

We are proud to support five important organizations doing incredible work in our communities: LuMind IDSC Foundation (where I serve as board chair) and The IDEAL School (which is Troy’s alma mater), as well as Gigi’s Playhouse New York, The Joyeux Cafe, and The South Fork Bakery

Thank you so much for all that you have done over the years and your continued support for the future.  Together we can make a difference in the lives of those individuals with Down syndrome and special needs! 

Hope to see you in July! If you can’t attend this year, we hope we can still count on your support! 

–  Anthony, Allison, Erin, Troy, and The Summer Double Dip Committee
