Lainey Represents Louisiana in Times Square | New Orleans News

Lainey Thomassen from Franklinton is set to shine in Times Square—her photo selected from over 2,700 global submissions for the National Down Syndrome Society’s annual showcase. Representing Louisiana, her image will beam across two Jumbotron screens above Dos Caminos at 8:30 AM ET on September 12th, part of a live, hour-long event also streamed on NDSS’s Facebook page. This kickoff marks the NYC Buddy Walk, an annual celebration since 1995 promoting inclusion for people with Down syndrome—a cause championed by the NDSS since its founding in 1979.
