Empowering Individuals. Supporting Communities.
As DSAWM celebrates our 40th anniversary, we invite you to “Step Right Up” and celebrate carnival-style at the 2025 Step Up for Down Syndrome event!
Step Up for Down Syndrome is the largest Down syndrome awareness event in Michigan and the Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan’s (DSAWM) biggest fundraiser.
This year’s celebration will be held on Saturday, September 6th from 3-7 PM at Hudsonville Fairgrounds and will feature carnival games, prizes, food trucks, a disability-focused resource fair, music, and more! We will also be celebrating DSAWM’s 40th anniversary with a look back at the milestones that have defined the past 40 years.
We expect this to be our biggest event yet, with over 1,000 attendees coming together for this highly anticipated community celebration and ceremonial walk. This is the time to come together to support our loved ones with Down syndrome and we are excited to welcome new and returning members, friends, and family, back together for a full day of celebration and community.
