    WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 2021 7:00PM ET VIP Reception | 7:30PM ET Program | Virtual The Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GLOBAL) is the largest non-profit in the U.S. working to save lives and dramatically improve health outcomes for people with Down syndrome. GLOBAL directly supports over 200 scientists and 2,000 patients with Down syndrome. Working closely with Congress and the National Institutes of Health, GLOBAL is the lead advocacy organization in the U.S. for Down syndrome research and medical care. Given that people with Down syndrome are at extremely high risk for COVID-19 (adults with Down syndrome are four times more likely to be hospitalized and 10 times more likely to develop adverse side effects due to COVID-19) we have decided to hold our 2021 AcceptAbility Gala virtually. GLOBAL’s annual AcceptAbility Gala brings together policymakers from both sides of the aisle, key scientists from NIH, and our Down syndrome community. YOUR support for this inspiring event allows GLOBAL to protect people with Down syndrome from COVID-19; provide world-class care to over 2,000 patients with Down syndrome from 28 states and 10 countries; and fund over 200 scientists working on Down syndrome research with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. With support from you and our champions, GLOBAL’s advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill has resulted in a tripling of the NIH Down syndrome research budget, as well as outreach to over 14,000 families. 2021 HONOREES, COMMITTEES & SPECIAL GUESTS Ambassador: Caroline Cardenas Quincy

Six years of funding will allow families the comfort of knowing that their children will get the health care they need and will allow state governments to plan for health care costs and manage their budget needs wisely. Our broad and diverse coalition represents of child health advocates, family doctors, pediatricians, community clinics, large and small hospitals and many others who have seen first-hand that CHIP, or CHP+ as Colorado’s program is called, has made a genuine impact on tens of thousands of Colorado kids and their families as well as the pregnant women the program serves. Across its nearly 20-year history, CHIP has enjoyed bipartisan support because it increases health insurance coverage for children and helps working families while resembling a private insurance plan through membership fees and co-pays. Even in our current, deeply divisive political environment, there is no reason CHIP should not continue to enjoy this kind of support.

    June 11, 2021 The Honorable Doug Lamborn The Honorable Ken Buck Member of Congress Member of Congress 2371 Rayburn House Office Building 2455 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Lauren Boebert Member of Congress 1609 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Representatives Lamborn, Buck, and Boebert, Thank you for your recent letter regarding enhanced federal unemployment benefits. This is the first time I am hearing from some members of the delegation requesting that I end enhanced unemployment benefits in Colorado. Congress shouldn’t be paying out these benefits if they do not want states to use it. If Colorado ended these benefits prematurely, it would harm individuals, business owners, and the broader economy. These funds have, and continue to, stimulate the economy and bring struggling businesses back from the brink. We are focused on swiftly and effectively distributing millions in relief from federal stimulus received by the state and I appreciate the work of those in the federal delegation that sought to ensure Colorado received this much needed funding. If Congress would like to increase the flexibility on how Colorado could use the $600-800 million that the state will currently receive as enhanced unemployment funds, Colorado would be interested in other uses, but it would be dumb for Colorado to simply send this money back to Washington. Even though more Coloradans are returning to full-time work after this global pandemic, it doesn’t mean their financial challenges are going to simply disappear. Colorado was one of the earlier states to reinstate the requirement that all unemployment beneficiaries must actively search for a job to qualify for benefits.
