Step Up for Down Syndrome is our signature fundraising and community building event. It is held every year in late September as a kick of to Down Syndrome Awareness Month (October). More than 6,000 people join us in St. Paul to celebrate our amazing community, raise awareness about issues facing our community, and to raise funds to further our mission. Sometimes how organizations raise their money is at odds with their inclusive mission. Step Up is the opposite. Everyone is invited and registration is accessible to all at just $9 per walker.

Step Up truly gives us the platform to live out our mission to EMPOWER. CONNECT. CELEBRATE.
