Izzy Salangsang filled every day with joy, curiosity, and love. He was deeply cherished by his parents, Les and Lory, and shared a special bond with his sisters, Elory and Selena. Izzy’s bright spirit and the impact he had on those around him continue to be felt throughout our community. In honour of Izzy’s life, and with the blessing of the Salangsang family, the Durham Down Syndrome Association created the Izzy Salangsang Sibling Scholarship. Each year, two scholarships are awarded to siblings of individuals with Down syndrome who are pursuing post-secondary education.  These siblings often play an important and unique role in their families and community, offering support, advocacy, and lifelong connection. Your donation helps celebrate Izzy’s legacy by supporting the educational journeys and future goals of these remarkable young people. Together, we can continue to recognize and uplift siblings in our community — today and for years to come.
