Welcome

Thank you for visiting our event page. We are so excited for our 15th Annual DSAW-Green Bay Down Syndrome Awareness Walk at Capital Credit Union Park on Saturday, September 30th!! 

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 2023! 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. Join us!

2023 Walk Ambassador: Sami Schmechel

Hi, my name is Sami. I was born in Colorado and moved to WI when I was just 8 months old (and I’m 22 years old now). I graduated from Syble Hopp School, completed an internship through Project Search and am now working at You Belong, where I get to work with kids--my dream!!. I am easy going, compassionate, and a good friend. I love to have fun, be around my family, go to church, play volleyball, and listen to and sing music! Oh and another fun fact about me, I was crowned Wisconsin Miss Amazing Junior Miss this year!
