Please join us in viewing this short but heartfelt video about Anna Maria Sie (April 21, 1945 - September 20, 2023)
We are deeply saddened to share that our beloved co-founder, Anna Sie, passed away after a long battle with endometrial cancer. Her relationship with her granddaughter, Sophia, who happens to have Down syndrome, inspired the creation of GLOBAL, the Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome, the Sie Center for Down Syndrome, the Alzheimer's & Cognition Center, the GLOBAL Inclusive Program at Regis University and so much more.
GLOBAL dedicated our 2023 Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show to her memory and the legacy she leaves for the Down syndrome community.
