2024 Highlights

We invite you to join Angels for Higher as we continue to transform the lives of individuals with Down syndrome across the USA. Through your generosity, we empower young adults by facilitating their employment as Greeters at sports stadiums and university campuses—creating a more inclusive and joyful community for all. 2024 Highlights: Together, We Made an Impact Your support this year has led to incredible milestones: 95 Young Adults with Down syndrome employed as Greeters in exciting, inclusive and life-changing positions. 15 Down Syndrome Associations formed Strategic Alliances with Angels for Higher across the USA. 30 Sports Stadiums/University Campuses positively transformed by joyful Angels for Higher Greeters. Looking Ahead to 2025 While we celebrate these successes, much work remains. There are 175 professional sports stadiums and 130 major university campuses across America waiting to be contacted! Our goal is to establish Strategic Alliances in 10-20 new venues next year.   Establishing a Strategic Alliance in a new venue requires our hard work and support from donors like you:   Sports Stadium/University Campus - $5,000: Phone calls, virtual meetings and travel expenses incurred from making in-person presentations to team executives or university administrators. Down Syndrome Association - $2,500: Phone calls, virtual meetings and travel expenses incurred from on-site meetings with local DSAs, candidates and their parents where we’ll recruit four to six Greeters per venue. Strategic Alliance - $7,500 total: Mutually beneficial relationships developed between Angels for Higher, our Greeters, their families and a sports stadium or university campus that will prosper for many years to come. Your tax-deductible donation will help establish one or more Strategic Alliances in 2025: 10 donors can fund $75,000, half our annual budget. 20 donors will fully fund our $150,000 annual budget.  Please help fund our 2025 efforts and take advantage of the tax deduction for 2024! Any support you can send is a great blessing! Donate Today! Here’s the testimony from the parent of one of three Greeters we placed with the Ohio State Buckeyes:   Thanks to the support of Robert and Angels for Higher, Chris’ dream of working for the Buckeyes has come true! Chris is very proud of his job. He loves when fans stop by to ask him questions, and smile when he says hello. What a great success story of inclusion and being a respected, productive member of society! – Chris’ mother   Your support will transform the lives of many more young adults with Down syndrome in 2025. Together, we can change the public perception of individuals with Down syndrome living across America…one athletic venue…one university campus…one joyful Greeter at a time.   Thank you for your commitment to Angels for Higher!
