MISSION
AND GOALS
With a mission to further awareness of the contributions and needs of individuals
with Down syndrome and to raise funds for advocacy, service, and research organizations, the family and friends of Alexander
Gomez-Nieto, a child born with Down syndrome in 2001, established Alexander’s Angels in
2007.
The long term goal of Alexander’s Angels is to focus on raising awareness outside the Down syndrome community by
continuing working with local colleges and Down syndrome organizations in a collaborative effort to promote better understanding
of people with Down syndrome. Alexander’s Angels aims to present the person with Down syndrome for
what he/she is, a person with feelings and abilities much like anyone else--to that end Alexander’s Angels aims to organize
events that showcase to the community-at-large special talents within the Down syndrome community.

We
all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel our ideas can even change the
world, and we want to let other people know how they can join in and make all our lives better.
