全球唐氏綜合症基金會（Global）正在表彰國會女議員戴安娜·迪格特（Diana Degette）（D-CO）和國會議員羅伯特·阿德霍爾特（Robert Aderholt）（R-AL），他們將獲得全球最高榮譽，昆西·瓊斯（Quincy Jones）的傑出倡導獎，因為他們在年度可接受性期間都在支持唐氏綜合症的人，以支持他們的支持。來自巴爾的摩的演員和自我顧問的全球大使塔克·埃姆裡（Tucker Emry）也將得到認可。盛會是一項鼓舞人心的籌款活動，將以安納波利斯的羅伯特·沃洛普（Robert Wallop）的舞蹈表演以及包括舞蹈舞隊Rhythmxpress的其他DC區域舞者以及多人藝術家和演員Phillip Phillip Phillip的表演。今年的盛會紀念著備受喜愛的全球支持者Cornelia Stephens的記憶。

DeGette and Aderholt have been instrumental in advancing legislation to support individuals with Down syndrome. DeGette, a champion for accessible healthcare and a staunch supporter of scientific advancements, has been a vanguard in steering critical legislation like the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Act. This groundbreaking bill, a top priority for GLOBAL and the Down syndrome community, aims to expand access to habilitative services and broaden the scope of covered treatments for individuals with Down syndrome.

Degette和Aderholt一直在推進立法以支持唐氏綜合症患者的立法方面發揮了作用。 Degette是可訪問的醫療保健的擁護者，也是科學進步的堅定支持者，一直是指導諸如Deondra Dixon等關鍵立法的先鋒隊，包括ACT。這項開創性的法案是全球和唐氏綜合症社區的重中之重，旨在擴大對唐氏綜合症患者的涵蓋治療範圍的範圍。

Aderholt, a key ally of the Down syndrome community, has been instrumental in securing critical funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to propel research in Down syndrome. His steadfast commitment has led to a substantial increase in the NIH Down syndrome research and medical care budget. This marks a significant turning point after years of this genetic condition being among the least funded.

唐氏綜合症社區的關鍵盟友Aderholt在為國家衛生研究院（NIH）確保促進唐氏綜合症研究的重要資金方面發揮了重要作用。他堅定的承諾導致NIH唐氏綜合症研究和醫療預算大幅增加。這標誌著多年這種遺傳條件是資金最低的幾年之後，這標誌著一個重要的轉折點。

The AcceptAbility Gala will bring together policymakers from both sides of the aisle, key scientists from the NIH, philanthropists, corporate sponsors, and the Down syndrome community. It will be a celebration of the major new federal research funding increases and an opportunity to educate Congress and the community about the transformative DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act of 2024 that will elongate life and improve health outcomes for people with Down syndrome.

可接受性的晚會將把過道兩邊的決策者，NIH的主要科學家，慈善家，公司贊助商和唐氏綜合症社區匯集在一起​​。這將是對主要新的聯邦研究資金增加的慶祝活動，也將有機會教育國會和社區有關變革性的Deondra Dixon，其中包括2024年的Project Act，該法將延長生活並改善唐氏綜合症患者的健康成果。

The gala will also feature a special message from NBC Political Analyst and Capitol Correspondent Chuck Todd, and greetings from Baltimore-based actor and GLOBAL Ambassador Tucker Emry. Emry, a self-described “huge movie buff,” is currently attending the University of Baltimore in pursuit of a degree in Political Science.

該晚會還將提供NBC政治分析師和國會大廈通訊員查克·托德（Chuck Todd）的特別信息，以及巴爾的摩演員和全球大使塔克·埃姆裡（Tucker Emry）的問候。埃姆裡（Emry）是一個自稱為“巨大的電影愛好者”，目前正在巴爾的摩大學（University of Baltimore）攻讀政治學學位。

Those in attendance will enjoy a vibrant performance by Multiplatinum Artist and Actor Phillip Phillips, known for his hit song "Home," which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned triple-Platinum status from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Phillips, a Louisiana native, rose to fame as the Season 11 winner of the popular television series "American Idol."

參加會議的人將享受多平台藝術家和演員菲利普·菲利普斯（Phillip Phillips）的鮮明表現，他以其熱門歌曲“ Home”而聞名，該歌曲“ Home”在Billboard Hot 100排行榜上排名前10位，並獲得了美國唱片行業協會（RIAA）的三重平原狀態。路易斯安那州本地人菲利普斯（Phillips）成為受歡迎的電視連續劇《美國偶像》第11季的冠軍。
