2023 Hamilton Walk for Down Syndrome

The Hamilton Walk for Down Syndrome is Hamilton’s largest community awareness event and fundraising campaign, benefiting The Down Syndrome Association of Hamilton (DSAH).

This rain-or-shine event is open to the public.  We advertise on radio and appear on CHCH Morning Live. We expect over 30 fundraising teams and approximately 1000 event attendees. Last year, our event raised over $130,000 and we aim for the same or higher this year. Our Walk fundraiser provides our association with most of our donations throughout the year.  In the last 11 years since the Walk’s inception the Hamilton community has raised over ONE MILLION dollars for the Down Syndrome Association of Hamilton.

Funds are raised online by teams during the fundraising campaign that starts in July and lasts several weeks. The fundraising campaign ends with a free community event at Bayfront Park on Sunday September 24^th. In honour of the original ‘Buddy Walk’, participants walk the 1.2 km loop around Bayfront Park.

Afterwards, attendees can enjoy free activities, entertainment and learn about community service organizations in Hamilton in the community partners area. There will be raffle prizes, giveaways, special guests, and more!  It promises to be a morning of fun for people of all ages.
