Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) recently joined with Alexander’s Angels at the Broadway Mall in Hicksville to help raise awareness about Down syndrome in conjunction with World Down Syndrome Day.

     Alexander’s Angels is a local non-profit organization which aims to heighten understanding of Down syndrome by highlighting the abilities of individuals with Down syndrome and the valuable roles they play in our communities.  The group organizes events that showcase special talents within the Down syndrome community to the general public.
