With World Down Syndrome Day happening this Sunday, a nonprofit based in Utah with deep Cache Valley ties is hosting an event on Saturday to raise money and bring awareness to its cause.

RODS is all about helping families adopt Down syndrome orphans. It was created in 2007 by Brady Murray, a Cache Valley native. He and his wife Andrea have a son, Nash, who has Down syndrome.
