WE ARE TEAM IRON WILL

WE ARE TEAM IRON WILL


We celebrate the perseverance of children with Down syndrome and their families. Every child fought to get here, and every family fought to care for them. These kids have tremendous grit, as do the families that love them. That’s why Team Iron Will doesn’t know defeat; we just know we’re not there yet. To us, failure isn’t final; it’s just an opportunity to rise again. With grit, determination, and faith, we redefine success—for ourselves and our children.


relentless. forward. progress.

A message from iron will

Team iron will and NWA Wiffle ball present our first annual "fall classic wiffle ball TOURNAMENT"!


We all know just how much Iron Will loves Wiffle Ball, AND . . . because we're not your typical nonprofit organization, we are partnering with the National Wiffle Ball Association (NWA) to host our first annual Fall Classic Wiffle Ball Tournament on September 20, 2025!


Join us for an awesome day of competitive Wiffle Ball, community awareness, and family fun, or make a lasting impact for families in the Down syndrome community as a sponsor! All proceeds from this event support Team Iron Will’s efforts to champion the intrinsic value of individuals with Down syndrome as they fulfill God’s purpose for their lives.

Material Assistance:

We provide medical and assistive equipment, care packages, developmental tools, and therapy resources to families in the Down syndrome community who are experiencing financial strain.


educational opportunities:

We endeavor to educate families and providers about effective and cutting-edge techniques, procedures, and programs that maximize our children’s lived experiences with expert-led sessions offering insights, guidance, and real-life stories.


medical advocacy:

Finding healthcare professionals who genuinely respect and uphold the dignity and value of children with Down syndrome can be a challenge. We're building a directory that will serve as a trusted resource listing providers who not only offer excellent care but also champion the dignity, worth, and purpose of every child they serve.

WHAT FAMILIES IN THE DOWN SYNDROME COMMUNITY ARE SAYING:

WHAT FAMILIES IN THE DOWN SYNDROME COMMUNITY ARE SAYING:

“We are forever grateful for your education about Infantile Spasms…without your video we would have likely missed it entirely until it was too late. And your support group online has been an incredible resource and sounding board for us.”

“Your Infantile Spasms video got me the correct diagnosis and your willingness to text with me while we were in the ER gave me the confidence to push doctors for an EEG. You literally helped save my son. I am forever grateful.”

“Thank you again for the rocking chair for Graham. If he is having a meltdown I can quickly put him in the rocking chair and stop it from escalating. After a little bit of time with me rocking him, we can move on to a different activity and he won’t be upset anymore. We are very thankful.”

“Your account made me believe my child can read. He’s 5 and is now using his AAC device to read short books to us.”

“Thanks to the tools and partial scholarship from Team Iron Will Theo went from not being able to make the /B/ sound to saying “buzz” clear as day in just a few weeks! So blessed to have TIW standing beside as and rooting for our family!”

“We 100% love and support your mission. We have K's oxygen concentrator because of you. Our insurance denied us, but you came through.”
