2026 Walk Ambassador: Caden Ossmann
My name is Caden Ossmann. I currently work at Goodwill and Pulaski High School and I am enrolled in a program through ASPIRO. I work to bring joy and positivity to the people around me. In my free time, I enjoy listening to country and gospel music, riding bike at Oneida Family Fitness, spending time with family and friends, attending workouts at GRIT 920, and volunteering with the Salvation Army.
I strongly believe in giving back to the community that supports not only me, but individuals of all abilities. Because of this passion, DSAW holds a special importance to me. I have participated in many Down Syndrome Awareness walks and look forward to them every year. I am honored to serve as this year’s Walk Ambassador and am committed to continuing to raise awareness and advocate for acceptance of everyone.
