Wear Purpose. Share Hope.
At the heart of ANKOR is the magic of transformation—the depth of a dark night giving way to the light of a new dream. Every day is a chance to turn passion into purpose, and we’re here for it.
When you shop the ANKOR collection, you’re not just adding to your wardrobe—you’re standing for inclusion, value, and acceptance for individuals with Down syndrome. You’re also helping bring hope (and maybe a few smiles) to children diagnosed with and recovering from cancer.
Down Syndrome Awareness
1 in every 700 babies in the U.S. is born with Down syndrome.
This extra chromosome can lead to cognitive delays and medical challenges like heart defects, leukemia, and thyroid conditions. A century ago, life expectancy was just 9 years—today, over 80% of people with Down syndrome live to 60 and beyond.
With more than 200,000 individuals living with Down syndrome in the U.S., there's a growing need for education, inclusion, and acceptance. Yet many still face barriers to inclusive education, employment, and proper medical care.
That’s why ANKOR proudly supports the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS)—the leading human rights organization for individuals with Down syndrome. NDSS advocates for a world where every person with Down syndrome can thrive, contribute, and be embraced by their communities.
Learn more about how NDSS is changing lives through advocacy and awareness.
Childhood Cancer Research
Every two minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer.
Fifty years ago, survival was just 10%. Today, thanks to research, over 80% of kids with the most common cancers survive—but many still face diagnoses with few options. And survival often comes at a cost: 99% of childhood cancer survivors will face chronic health issues by age 50 due to the harsh treatments they received.
Despite this, only a small portion of cancer research funding goes toward pediatrics. Children need treatments designed for their growing bodies and unique genetic makeup—not adult therapies scaled down.
ANKOR is proud to support the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, the largest private funder of childhood cancer research. Since 2005, they’ve raised over $342 million through their signature head-shaving events, funding nearly 2,000 grants in 31 countries.
Learn how St. Baldrick’s is changing the future for children with cancer. Join us in supporting their life-saving work.
Thank you for being here.
Your time, compassion, and willingness to learn mean the world to us. By supporting awareness and advocacy for Down syndrome and childhood cancer, you’re helping create a world where every life is valued, seen, and celebrated.
Together, we can make a difference—one story, one bracelet, one child at a time.
