The Meier family hosted a bowling tournament fundraiser for DSAW
Can you take a few minutes to read about the incredible, creative ways that our DSAW community has supported us during this challenging year? Because of YOU, we have been able to rise above the uncertainty of this year and come out stronger than ever.
In early spring, we weren't at all sure what this year would bring. As the months went on and we realized that we wouldn't be returning to in-person programs for awhile, we started to reimagine our fundraising events. How could we make it through this year without any Awareness Walks?
We quickly realized that YOU would help us make it through this year. We are so humbled by and grateful for the amazing ways our families and friends have supported DSAW.
We want to share just some of the ways that the DSAW community has stepped up to help sustain DSAW in 2020:
Peyton Larson of Racine hosted a lemonade stand fundraiser for her birthday.
The Meier family of Southeastern WI had a Down Syndrome Awareness tournament fundraiser at their bowling alley, Country Lanes.
Team Phoenyx of Sheboygan had a bake sale to benefit their Walk team.
Murackulous Photography hosted a photo session fundraiser.
VIVA MAYHEM of Southeastern WI hosted a huge lemonade stand, a golf outing, a sweatshirt fundraiser, and more to raise the MOST money of any DSAW Awareness Walk team in history!!
Robert and Cassandra Maas of Sheboygan honored DSAW at their wedding! Every time someone made a donation to DSAW, the newlyweds would kiss.
Kitty Storey partnered with Cranky's donut shop in Wauwatosa to offer a Down Syndrome Awareness donut during the month of October - all proceeds went to DSAW.
Andrea Finney of La Crosse raised money for her local Walk by hosting a Pampered Chef fundraiser on Facebook.
The Hau family in Sheboygan had a garage sale and donated the profits to DSAW.
Robert & Cassandra Maas raised money for DSAW at their wedding!
These are just SOME examples of the power of DSAW's community. We truly are a grassroots organization, and we raise money dollar by dollar. All of your efforts have made a huge impact and will set us up for success in the year to come!
