Welcome

Thank you for visiting our event page. We are so excited to be back in person this year for our 12th Annual Down Syndrome Awareness Walk at Riverside Park in Neenah on Saturday, October 2nd!  

Although our office doors were closed for over a year, the dreams of people with Down syndrome have NOT been on hold. With your help, we were able to provide 2,000+ hours of virtual programming for our families, over 10,970 hours of direct services, and so much MORE (check out the graphic below) in 2020...during a global pandemic! WOW - thank you! We rely on the incredible support of our community to make DSAW'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!

For the safety of everyone in attendance, we encourage participants to wear masks for the duration of the event. Masks are required in indoor areas and in high-traffic locations where distancing is not possible. Thank you.
