Start Your Team Today!
Family members, friends, and co-workers are forming teams to walk, raise money and celebrate people with Down syndrome. Select a team name and start raising money by conducting a social media or e-mail campaign, asking for donations online, and recruiting as many awareness walkers and runners as possible. Many teams bring team posters or wear team t-shirts for the walk. Register to run or register under the Team Captain section. Once registered, you can start collecting donations online, by cash, check, or credit card. Please contact DSACO at 405-600-9981 or info@dsaco.org with any questions.
Who do the proceeds benefit?
Each year, this event gives the association and our families the chance to raise awareness about Down syndrome and is the largest fundraising event for DSACO. All money raised will stay in the central Oklahoma area to fund the many programs, activities, and services. Our mission is "to raise awareness and provide resources, as well as promote acceptance and inclusion for people with Down syndrome."
We accomplish these goals through a number of programs including:
Free tutoring services and speech therapy for individuals with Down syndrome
Microwave-based cooking classes for teens and adult
New parent packets and quarterly new parent breakfasts
Parent-to-parent support meetings
Workshops for parents, self-advocates, and educators
Scholarships for families to attend national conventions
Education and medical outreach initiatives
Family and teen/adult events and programs
As always, we will continue to further our mission of promoting acceptance and inclusion!
