Welcome
Thank you for visiting our event page. We are so excited to be back in person this year for our 16th Annual DSAW-Chippewa Valley Down Syndrome Awareness Walk at Irvine Park on Sunday, September 25!!
With the support of our generous friends like you, we were able to provide monthly Tween Clubs, send new and expectant parent packs at no cost to parents who received a Down syndrome diagnosis, and so much MORE in 2021! WOW - thank you! We rely on the incredible support of our community to make DSAW-Chippewa Valley's services happen. The majority of our programs and events are fully funded by this annual Awareness Walk, and we need YOU to help make them happen. Join us!
