Where to Go

Harbor Pointe Minature Golf
322 S Pier Dr, Sheboygan, WI 53081
When you arrive, only ONE member of your team needs to check in and pick up shirts. Everyone else can go right to enjoying the activities!

Dress for the weather and wear comfy shoes!
Cash for raffle prizes, merch, and day of donations!
Please do NOT bring rollerblades, skates, pets, balloons, glitter, or confetti as these items are strictly prohibited.

T-shirts are included with registration.
T-shirts only guaranteed for those who register by Saturday, September 2nd.
We will have a limited number of shirts available at the event for those who registered after the t-shirt deadline, but we do not order many extras as to avoid wasting shirts.
Attendees of the in-person event can pick shirts up on the day of the event (you only need to send ONE member of your team to registration to pick up shirts for your whole team).

We will host our 21 Showcase where individuals with Down syndrome of ALL ages will get a chance to walk the red carpet in front of their family and friends.
Make sure you follow us on Facebook so you don't miss the digital version of your 21 Showcase poster

Your friends and family are able to make a donation via text! Text ShebDSAW to 50155 to make a donation.
If you would like to set up text giving that goes directly to your participant or team fundraising page, head to your participant profile, click on the "Text Giving" tab, and create your own keyword. Donors will then need to text ShebDSAW, enter a space, and enter your unique keyword to have the donation go right to your own thermometer!

It's incredibly easy to fundraise on Facebook! After you register for our event, you will have the option to link a Facebook fundraiser to your team on Qgiv. Thermometer totals will be updated automatically as you receive donations thru Facebook fundraisers. Make fundraising extremely easy for your networks!
Note that you must create your Facebook fundraiser via Qgiv's My Fundraising Dashboard and not directly through Facebook. If you create the fundraiser on Facebook first there is no way to connect your fundraiser to our event.
If you don't connect to Facebook when setting up your profile, you can connect at a later time. Navigate to your personal fundraising dashboard then click the link to connect your fundraiser to Facebook. The button is located toward the bottom of the personal fundraising dashboard.

PLEASE NOTE: The cut-off for donations that qualify for the Top Three Fundraising Prizes is 11:59PM on September 22nd. All cash and check donations must arrive at the DSAW office by noon on September 22nd to qualify. We have fantastic prizes for our top three teams!
Any check or cash donations submitted at the event will be GREATLY appreciated but will not count towards your team fundraising total. Please donate in advance of this deadline to increase your team's chances of winning our top fundraising prizes!

Forming a team is the perfect way to celebrate your loved one with Down syndrome, and you get to participate in our fundraiser! Your team can be as large or as small as you want. Plus, your fundraising changes lives. Although fundraising is optional, the difference you make in the lives of more than 5,500 families across the state is tremendous. Whether you raise $10 or $10,000, YOU are making a difference for people with Down syndrome and their families in Wisconsin. Remember, fundraising does not have to be scary! Most people are happy to give to a cause that is important to you and your family.

Make a list of people you know best - family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, etc. Ask the people on your list to join your team! You could ask them via email, social media, or phone. Explain why it's important to you and your family, and encourage your team to fundraise. Giving them a sample fundraising letter (see below for an idea!) and a picture of your loved one to send to their networks can be incredibly helpful. In addition, remind them that business sponsorships can count towards your team's total!! Ultimately, this process is not just about fundraising: it's about spreading awareness and acceptance of people with Down syndrome.
