21st Annual DSAW-South Central Down Syndrome Awareness Walk

Thank you for visiting our event page. We are so excited for our 21st Annual Down Syndrome Awareness Walk at Olin Park on Sunday, October 2nd!

With the support of our generous friends like you, we were able to host monthly family programs, award grants to families in need around the state, send new and expectant parent packs at no cost to parents who received a Down syndrome diagnosis, and so much MORE in 2021! WOW - thank you! We rely on the incredible support of our community to make DSAW-South Central'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!
