Across Norway, people have turned ordinary days into small fundraising miracles!

Here are a few examples of initiatives that have helped support Dagsverk for Down.

Waffles for Down

Stian and Joakim set up a stand for Nitor AS at Metro Center in Lørenskog. They sold waffles, apple juice, and raffle tickets — with all proceeds donated to Dagsverk for Down.

Flea Market for Down

Anne Mari and Ida Elise hosted a “Flea Market for Down” at Brekkåsen School. Along the way, they gathered support from many local individuals who contributed with their own stands, local businesses donating raffle prizes, flowers, and coffee, and students from Brekkåsen creating artwork for sale.

Dentists for Down

A report from Málaga:

“39 teeth fixed, 23 teeth extracted (!), that makes €62 transferred to Dagsverk for Down! Hooray for our anniversary! Greetings from the Spanish Dentist!”

Barn Concert for Down

Ingrid Bjørnov hosted a Barn Concert for Down at Geiteberg Kulturbruk on March 17, 2023, in honor of World Down Syndrome Day.
