Down Country

Making a difference starts with someone deciding they want to help.

A donation to Down Country is more than a financial contribution. It's a way to support our mission of bringing people of all abilities together and creating a community where everyone has opportunities to participate, connect and belong.

Whether you've supported Down Country for years or are learning about our mission for the first time, your generosity means so much to us.

Thank you for believing in what we're working toward and helping us continue that work.

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month!

Every individual has their own personality, interests, talents and dreams. And every individual deserves the opportunity to share those gifts with the world.

At Down Country, we believe those differences are something worth celebrating, not something that should separate us.

The 2026 Charity Country Music Concert Series brought together incredible music, amazing people and a community that showed up to support Down Country!

From Carson Bock and Alex Miller to Parmalee and Craig Morgan, the music was incredible, but what made the day so special was everyone who came together to make it happen.

To our sponsors, volunteers, performers, vendors and every person who purchased a ticket, THANK YOU! Your support helps us continue making a difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community.

Craig Morgan had an AMAZING performance last night! He rounded out our Charity Country Music Concert Series.

We also got to see Carson Bock, Alex Miller Music and Parmalee all perform right here in Palmyra!

On top of rocking music, we had so many vendors serving delicious food, drinks and desserts!

Thank you doesn’t begin to cover how grateful we are for you, our sponsors, our volunteers, local vendors, those that attended the concert series and the performers, for taking time out of your day to support Down Country’s mission.
