The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis & the Mid-South held their 12th Annual Get Down & Derby Gala at the Great Hall in Germantown on Derby Day, May 6. The celebration included hors d'oeuvres sponsored by various restaurants, Derby-themed drinks, dancing, music, and live stream viewing of the Kentucky Derby on large screens. A hat parade, wine pull, and silent and live auctions were also enjoyed by all. Proceeds from this fundraiser event go toward funding new and current programs, created to serve individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. dsamemphis.org
