Uniquely Me 2026

This year marks the 14th anniversary of Uniquely Me — a celebration of the incredible talents, confidence, and spirit of our friends with Down syndrome.

Our annual fashion show and online auction are in support of the Joey Moss Literacy Centre for Excellence and the family support programs provided by the Edmonton Down Syndrome Society (EDSS). Last year’s event was a tremendous success, and we’re excited to once again showcase amazing families, talented individuals, and the community leaders who stand with us in support of inclusion.

Uniquely Me is our largest fundraiser of the year, raising essential funds for programs and services such as:

• Speech-Language Therapy
• Behaviour Therapy
• Musical Theatre
• Family Mental Health and Wellness
• Advocacy for our Down syndrome community

The Edmonton Down Syndrome Society (EDSS) is committed to supporting people with Down syndrome and their families, through programming, information, resources and connecting members with peer to peer support.
