Join the Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan at the 2023 Step Up for Down Syndrome! Step Up for Down Syndrome is the largest Down syndrome awareness event in Michigan and DSAWM’s annual fundraiser. Families, friends, and the public are invited to this community celebration and walk where we come together to support our loved ones with Down syndrome. 

This year’s theme is “Step Right Up” and we’ll be celebrating at a new location – Hudsonville Fairgrounds! Join us for a family-friendly event with activities, prizes, food trucks, and more! We are excited to welcome everyone – new and returning – back together for a full day of celebration and community.

To get started, just select the "REGISTER" button to start a team, join a team, or register as an individual. Additional family members can be added by selecting the green "Add Another Registrant" button during Step 3.  After you register, you can start your team or personal fundraising page by selecting the "Fundraising Page Set Up" button at the top of the online receipt.

If you cannot attend this event but would like to make a donation to the DSAWM, please select the DONATE button. You can also donate to an individual or team by visiting their fundraising page under the TEAMS/PEOPLE tab.

Registration Fees: 

Registration fees offset expenses, allowing the money raised through donations to directly fund DSAWM and allow us to continue offering free programming and services to our members. This year’s fee is only $5. If you would like the 2023 Step Up t-shirt, select the $15 registration option.
