全球唐氏综合症基金会（Global）正在表彰国会女议员戴安娜·迪格特（Diana Degette）（D-CO）和国会议员罗伯特·阿德霍尔特（Robert Aderholt）（R-AL），他们将获得全球最高荣誉，昆西·琼斯（Quincy Jones）的杰出倡导奖，因为他们在年度可接受性期间都在支持唐氏综合症的人，以支持他们的支持。来自巴尔的摩的演员和自我顾问的全球大使塔克·埃姆里（Tucker Emry）也将得到认可。盛会是一项鼓舞人心的筹款活动，将以安纳波利斯的罗伯特·沃洛普（Robert Wallop）的舞蹈表演以及包括舞蹈舞队Rhythmxpress的其他DC区域舞者以及多人艺术家和演员Phillip Phillip Phillip的表演。今年的盛会纪念着备受喜爱的全球支持者Cornelia Stephens的记忆。

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一直在推进立法以支持唐氏综合症患者的立法方面发挥了作用。 Degette是可访问的医疗保健的拥护者，也是科学进步的坚定支持者，一直是指导诸如Deondra Dixon等关键立法的先锋队，包括ACT。这项开创性的法案是全球和唐氏综合症社区的重中之重，旨在扩大对唐氏综合症患者的涵盖治疗范围的范围。

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.

唐氏综合症社区的关键盟友Aderholt在为国家卫生研究院（NIH）确保促进唐氏综合症研究的重要资金方面发挥了重要作用。他坚定的承诺导致NIH唐氏综合症研究和医疗预算大幅增加。这标志着多年这种遗传条件是资金最低的几年之后，这标志着一个重要的转折点。

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.

可接受性的晚会将把过道两边的决策者，NIH的主要科学家，慈善家，公司赞助商和唐氏综合症社区汇集在一起​​。这将是对主要新的联邦研究资金增加的庆祝活动，也将有机会教育国会和社区有关变革性的Deondra Dixon，其中包括2024年的Project Act，该法将延长生活并改善唐氏综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.
