DSAMT's The EXTRA Mile® Auction

We have had some really great additional items come in since we closed the original auction and we would like to raise a little more so we can fully fund dsamt’s Annual Santa Visits. We have opened up the auction on Facebook! It will run until Dec. 1st at 10am. All bids must be posted on the original posts by that time. Items will then be available to pick up at dsamt starting on the 2nd, and shipping is available (for most items) at your expense. We greatly appreciate your support! Here is the page if you would like to join in on the fun:

DSAMT is a community of parents, grandparents, siblings, physicians, educators, professionals, friends, and self-advocates from 40 counties in Middle Tennessee who celebrate and support individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. DSAMT is inclusive and does not draw stiff boundaries, so if you're in town or you have a need we can help, you're welcome to reach out or join us.

We envision a world in which individuals with Down syndrome are accepted, included, and valued for the extraordinary gifts they bring to our lives.
