What is the Walk?

The Walk is DSAH’s annual fundraising and community awareness event. The online fundraising portion begins in the summer where Fundraisers create ‘Teams’ who raise money over several weeks. Teams, friends, family and community come together for the main, in-person event at the end of September. During the event, participants can walk a 1.2 km loop around Bayfront Park.

How do I register a team for the walk?
Step 1 – The fundraiser opens in July! Sign up for our newsletter to get all the details ahead of time. Once the fundraiser opens you can sign up online.
Step 2 – Raise money and encourage family and friends to walk with us
Step 3 – Celebrate with us at Bayfront Park with your team (family and friends) on Walk day!

When should I arrive with my team?

The event opens at 9 a.m. Teams should plan to arrive at Bayfront between 9-9:45 a.m. to register.
Opening walk ceremonies start at 10 a.m.

Is there anything else to do besides walking?
YES! The ‘walk’ is only a small portion of our event. We have entertainment, activities for all ages, raffle prizes, and more!

Do I have to be on a team to attend the walk?
Nope! Although teams have worked hard to raise funds for DSAH you don’t have to be a part of a team to celebrate with us.

Can anyone just show up on walk day?
YES! This is a free community event celebrating Down Syndrome and spreading acceptance and awareness. Everyone is welcome!

Can I volunteer?
YES! Our event is run by volunteers. We have positions for students, Route Ambassadors, Event Setup and Takedown, Activities and more. All abilities welcome.
