What does the money raised from Step Up support?

As the largest DSACF fundraising event of the year, the Step Up Walk provides a large percentage of the support needed for programs and resources needed for the DSACF to fulfill its mission throughout the year. Here are just a few examples of how that money may be used:

• Covers the costs of group classes dealing with essential early intervention building blocks along the lines of sign, music or occupational therapy;
• New Family Celebration, New Parent Baskets and hospital outreach;
• Family & Community Group Events to connect parents and children with each other;
• Educational Workshops to empower parents with the tools to nurture and care for the unique needs of raising a child with Down syndrome;
• Social Skills classes for teens with Down syndrome to prepare them for adulthood;
• Social gatherings and programming for adult self-advocates; and more
