3.21 for Life was created by a group of individuals in the Hershey, Pennsylvania area who have personal connections to individuals with Down syndrome.

​

Our mission is to educate the world on the special attributes of those with Down syndrome and raise awareness on how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in the lives of everyone they meet and in the communities in which they live. 

​

The programs, activities and events that represent 3.21 for Life represent our goal to Advocate, Educate, Celebrate and Connect.
