Thank You!
We are beyond grateful to our incredible community for showing up in full force to support individuals with Down syndrome! Thanks to your energy, generosity, and love, we celebrated with 38 amazing teams, welcomed over 550 participants, and raised almost $70,000!
These vital funds will directly support free educational and therapeutic programs for families in throughout the North Central Wisconsin area. Your support helps us continue our mission of changing the way the world views Down syndrome and sending a global message of acceptance for all.
