Team Captain FAQ
I registered last year for the walk. Do I need my user name and password to register this year?
If you are a team captain and would like to have access to the prior year's list of team members and donors you will have the option to enter your user name and password or request them after you select the REGISTER button. Otherwise you can select the REGISTER button and select "No" to continue your registration. If you use the same name and email address from last year, your previous user name and password will be displayed at the end of the registration process.
Who is the Team Captain of our walk team?
The team captain is the first registrant, the person who created the team when they registered.
How much does registration cost?
All participants (except persons with Down syndrome) must register for $21. New in 2024, t-shirts are an additional $9 for all sizes except 2X-4X, which are an additional $14.
All registered attendees will receive a wristband to enjoy the family-friendly activities at the event. Guests who do not register for the event are still welcome to attend to walk, but wristbands will provide guests access to activities such as bounce houses, balloon twisters, toddler zone, complimentary food/beverage, etc.
People with Down syndrome are FREE, but must register as such for the participation fee to be waived. This registration type includes a t-shirt, wristband, and a medal at the finish line. The fee will be waived at checkout*
DSACO families looking for financial assistance, please email info@dsaco.net.
T-shirt sizes are not guaranteed after 8/30.

I entered my team name incorrectly. How can I fix it?
Email us at buddywalk@dsaco.net or complete this Support Form and provide your team name and corrected team name.
How do I change the t-shirt size for myself or team member?
Email us at buddywalk@dsaco.net or please or complete this Support Form and indicate the team member name and new shirt size. T-Shirt sizes must be adjusted by August 30, 2024 - after this date, we cannot switch t-shirt sizes.
In previous years, team members were able to select a Virtual Participation Fee to have their t-shirt shipped to them, why is that not an option this year?
Until 2020, DSACO did not ship any t-shirts to participants. We have learned through the past few years, that there is no easy way to do this. We encourage everyone to still register for the event by selecting “Participation Fee - $21” with a t-shirt, team captains will pick up all t-shirts on T-Shirt Pick Up Day and be able to ship t-shirts to participants celebrating from afar. Thank you for understanding!
