With the support of our generous friends like you, we were able to provide support via a Supplemental Therapies Scholarship, host monthly summer playgroups for littles, continue our partnership with Buddy Up Tennis, and so much MORE in 2021! WOW - thank you! We rely on the incredible support of our community to make DSAW-Green Bay'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.

2022 Walk Ambassador: Brayden

Hello, my name is Brayden. I was born in the Windy City. Funny, as a baby, I couldn’t stand the wind! I am 19 years old. I love to snow ski, hike in the mountains, ride my bike, and camp. I enjoy art and drawing comics on my iPad. I also like to make movies for fun. In the future, I would like to be a barista. I love learning about history. Someday I hope to time travel and meet Helen Keller. I have two Barbet dogs, Finn and Lovey. I love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series and pulling pranks on my brothers. Ed Sheeran is my favorite musician; I hope to see him in concert someday. I am very proud to be this year’s ambassador. My dream is to live in a world where everyone’s differences are accepted, celebrated, and loved.
