Our Down Syndrome Awareness Walks, which occur across the State of Wisconsin each year, draw more than 7,000 walkers, runners, racers, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and partners under one collective mission -- to raise awareness and promote inclusion, diversity and acceptance of people with Down syndrome and other special needs in our communities and in our lives. 

At DSAW, we strive to guarantee access to a full life for all through education, information, programs, services, and the exchange of ideas and experiences. For the past 20 years, the annual Awareness Walks have been the key fundraising mechanism that allow us to enter and serve communities across the state to help individuals and families with special needs prove they are stronger than the obstacles they face. Your support strengthens our programs, and our resolve. 

We walk to tell our stories.  That our children are remarkably gifted, talented, and beautiful.  We walk because our sons and daughters battle every day for the same liberties that are so often taken for granted by our society.  We walk to create new programs and services in under-served communities.  We walk to tell our stories to the world. DSAW is 100% funded by private individuals and concerned corporate citizens and foundations who believe just as we do that with appropriate investments and just the right amount of supports, our loved ones can accomplish amazing things!!
