Hello Family & Friends!!!
We can't tell you how much your support has meant to our family over the past several years!

Our family has volunteered for the DSAW Fox Cities Awareness Walk for many years and we wouldn't change a single minute. We believe so strongly in the mission of DSAW: To provide support to individuals and families of people with Down syndrome through education, information and the exchange of ideas and experiences. 

Our family, and especially Aaron, has benefited from DSAW Fox Cities by connecting with some of the greatest people ever! Aaron has made life long friends and has enjoyed so many great activities like swimming, bike riding, Sky Zone and Monkey Joes just to name a few. We have support groups as parents. We have speakers/webinars for parents and educators. Speech/occupational therapy. Member grants, scholarships for Camp.  These are just a few of the events DSAW offers and we have more to come!!! 

One of the most personal missions we are on is advocating for an inclusive environment for Aaron to go to school in. Be with his typical peers. To have support. To get a great education like his siblings.  We truly couldn't do all this without the Down syndrome community here in the Fox Valley. 

With this being our one and only fundraiser, your support, no matter how big or how small, is making a difference!!!  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

See you Saturday, October 5th, 2019!!!
