Fixxology would like our teen/adults to come work at their shop for World Down Syndrome Day. They will be giving their customers the option to round up on their order and all proceeds rounded up will be donated to EIDS. We have 4 different slots at 10 different locations that can have 1-2 individuals with Down syndrome work. The slots are 1 hour long and go from 11-3. There are a LIMITED amount of slots so first come first serve. Fixxology also has shirts made for each individual so registering early insures they get a shirt.

If you feel like your participant wants to work at more than 1 location or you have any questions please reach out to Bailee at (208) 932-6418.

The individuals with Down syndrome will help makeand hand out orders. Please arrive 15 min before your time slot to receive instructions. We look forward to spreading awareness about Down syndrome. Also please wear crazy socks!
