This fund was established in honor of and in partnership with Catherine "Cathy" Erickson, DSAMn Board Member and Community Advocate. Cathy served on the DSAMn Board of Directors multiple times, most recently from June 2019 up until her death September 2021.
The purpose of this fund is to support DSAMn's efforts and programs focused on individuals with Down syndrome as they transition to and grow through adulthood with a focus on programs that increase access to high quality healthcare and support services for families navigating transition from pediatric to adult healthcare.
