WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting our walk page. We are so excited for our 23rd Annual Down Syndrome Awareness Walk at the YMCA in Onalaska on Saturday, October 4th, 10:30AM - 1:30PM! 

With the support of our generous friends like you, we were able to award multiple grants to families in need around the state, send new and expectant parent packs at no cost to parents who received a Down syndrome diagnosis, and so much MORE in 2024! WOW - thank you!

We rely on the incredible support of our community to make DSAW-Greater La Crosse Area's services happen.
