Little Isaiah Marrero has made the big time.
The 3-year-old from East Dundee will have his photograph shown Saturday morning on arguably the world’s most famous video display — in downtown Manhattan, New York City, as part of the annual National Down Syndrome Society Times Square Video Presentation.
The one-hour video will flash individual photos of more than 500 people with Down syndrome from the 50 states and 11 countries on two Jumbotron screens above Dos Caminos restaurant, 1567 Broadway.
Isaiah, whose photo is scheduled to appear for about 10 seconds between 9 and 9:10 a.m. Central Time, was among the lucky ones chosen from more than 2,600 entries in National Down Syndrome Society’s worldwide call for photos this spring.
Luke Dillon of Elgin, Finnegan Jinkins of Huntley, twins Judah and Jesse Jones of Warrenville, Will Regan of Lake Forest, and Joey Santiago of McHenry also will see themselves on the Jumbotron.
