Last Year’s Recap

The Down Syndrome Organization of Southern Nevada (DSOSN) is proud to announce its annual fundraising event, the Festival of Trees and Lights (FOTL) 2024. This year, the event will have a special meaning for us: We will be honoring Linda Smith, one of our founding members and a “Disability Rights Icon,” who has spent over 40 years of her life serving the disability community in Nevada and across the country. We are inviting everyone to join Governor Joe Lombardo and other leaders of the Las Vegas community, as we come together to celebrate Linda’s “Legacy of Love” for the disability community, and present her with the first of its kind, “The Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award.”

This long-standing and unique community celebration was started by the DSOSN founding members in 1988.

Join us as we come together to carry on this wonderful holiday tradition, and be a part of this year’s one-of-a-kind event, where as never before, we will celebrate Linda’s “Leagacy of Love” for the disability communities of Southern Nevada.
