Golf Tournament

The annual CIDSO Open is typically held each year on the first Saturday in June. The Illinois State University golf course is the home for the event. This is the primary fund raiser for CIDSO and is critical to the organization's ability to provide funds for improving the lives of those touched by Down syndrome.

Please check back next spring, 2012, for details on the 31st annual CIDSO Open!


Meetings

Meetings and outings occur periodically throughout the year. For a schedule of regular meetings contact CIDSO. At meetings, parents are able to share and learn with other parents the joys and challenges of raising a child with Down syndrome. Childcare is available as needed.
