Are You Ready to Dash?

Our third annual Dash for Down Syndrome is on April 27th at Winnequah Park in Monona. We have a goal of raising $60,000 and we have already raised $35,000!

We need YOUR HELP in raising the funds that will not only reach our goal, but more importantly allow us to keep our life-changing programs FREE to almost 400 families in the greater Dane County area!
