Alex Robichaud and Genevieve Keefe will appear in the bright lights of Broadway Sept. 9 as part of the annual National Down Syndrome Society Times Square Video presentation.
The one-hour video of roughly 500 photographs includes children, teens, and adults with Down syndrome from all 50 states. These collective images promote the value, acceptance, and inclusion of people with Down syndrome in a very visible way.
The photo of Alex and Genevieve was selected from more than 2,400 entries in the NDSS worldwide call for photos. The photo will be shown on two JumboTron screens in the heart of Times Square, thanks to the support of ClearChannel Outdoor. The two screens are located above Dos Caminos restaurant in Father Duffy Square. The presentation will be live streamed on the NDSS Facebook page from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
Alex and Genevieve are pictured ready for the prom in a styling tuxedo and fun party dress where they danced the night away along with other juniors and seniors at the local high school.
The Times Square Video presentation kicks off the New York City Buddy Walk® at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park. For more information about the New York City Buddy Walk on September 9 or the National Buddy Walk Program please visit www.ndss.org.
