NEW YORK (ADAMS) – Roman Bolka of Fort Wayne will appear in the bright lights of Broadway on Saturday, September 9 as part of the annual National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) Times Square Video presentation.
The one-hour video of roughly 50 photographs includes children, teens, and adults with Down syndrome from all 50 states.
Representatives say these collective images promote the value, acceptance, and inclusion of people with Down syndrome in a very visible way.
Representatives with the National Down Syndrome Society Video Presentation released the following:
The photo of Roman was selected from more than 2,40 entries in the NDSS worldwide call for photos. His 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 am ET on September 9.
