Gianna's 8th Birthday Celebration!!

Celebrating her gift of life at the DSAW walk every year is tradition and that is very special to us. Please join us!

Gianna Mia Rose is our daughter. She is our Heavenly Rose.

We are so proud of her, Gia will be turning EIGHT on the 29th of September! It’s our annual birthday celebration with DSAW at the Down Syndrome Awareness Walk on September 25th to show the world how beautiful the blessing of Down syndrome is to us. She is a gift, our dear Lady Gianna. She is so loved, and has changed and touched so many hearts already ... it's only just beginning.

Dearest family and friends ... won't you please support DSAW by simply donating $10 in-lieu-of a birthday present, by clicking DONATE NOW? Then join us on Sunday, September 25th at the Milwaukee County Zoo. To join our team click on the JOIN TEAM button to the right of this page (BTW, your donation is your admission to the zoo also includes lunch served by DSAW!). 

We plan to meet BEFORE the walk to celebrate Gianna’s birthday around 11AM, (the official walk starts at 2:00PM). When you arrive at the zoo admission gates, just let them know you are there for the DSAW walk and they will let you in. Then look for the birthday balloons toward the far south side of the Oak Grove picnic area outside the main entrance, and the cutest little eight-year-old animal there!

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! Whether it's a friend, a family member, or neighbor down the street, we almost all know someone with Down syndrome. Like us, many of you have been personally touched by the lives of these individuals. We are proud to be part of the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin's 20th Anniversary Statewide Down Syndrome Awareness Walk and 5K Run, Roll & Stroll because it means so much to us and to our family.

People with Down syndrome are more ALIKE the rest of us than they are different. They have feelings, talents and dreams just like everyone. They deserve to be accepted and appreciated for who they are and what they contribute to our lives and our communities.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. You can make your tax-deductible donation online, or if you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the DSAW Office: 11709 W Cleveland Ave, Suite 2, West Allis, WI 53227 (Just be sure to write our team name on the memo line so that we get credit for the donation!) Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! To sponsor us simply press Donate Now.

Please also join us on Sunday, September 25th, at the Milwaukee County Zoo as part of our team. It's an incredible day of celebration with family, friends, and people who, like you, want to raise awareness, raise funds, and raise the hope of a better world for all people with Down syndrome.
