Rally Support for the Nebraska Down Syndrome Community
On Saturday, March 15th, Down Syndrome Advocates in Action Ne will host its 10th Annual Buddy Walk at Gateway Mall in Lincoln, NE. This family-friendly event is sure to be the happiest place on earth! There will be free activities for kids, a Raffle, Silent Auction, and more!
Top teams will be recognized for the top fundraisers and largest walk teams. Show your support to the Nebraska Down syndrome community by donating, joining a team, or sponsoring our event!
The Buddy Walk was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society. Each year, the Buddy Walk serves as the primary fundraiser and Down syndrome awareness event for DSAA Ne. All donations received from this event help to support our programs, services and scholarships offered each year. Through generous donors and sponsors like you, we serve families across the state. Thank you for helping increase our advocacy efforts.
Walk T-shirts
Step into the stride of inclusivity with our 10th annual Buddy Walk T-shirt! Celebrate the Down Syndrome community's strength and resilience with our t-shirt design that will feature many of the past year's Buddy Walk shirt sayings. Wear it proudly during the walk to showcase our community unity and the extraordinary abilities within every individual.
Every Dollar Makes a Difference
Even a Small $10 Donation can go a long way.
At Down Syndrome Advocates in Action Nebraska, we work daily to make sure individuals with Down syndrome are included in their communities. Small donations can be used to go to the movies, provide snacks at our Next Chapter Book Club, or be added to other donations to provide a scholarship for a local, regional or national conference.

Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day!
Every year people from all over the world celebrate the Down syndrome community on March 21. This is because the condition, also known as Trisomy 21, is caused when a child is born with a 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome. Other than the covid years, we have always tried to host our Buddy Walk on the Saturday before World Down Syndrome Day. Won't you consider donating $21 in honor of this international celebration?

Help Families Feel Supported During the IEP Process
IEP meetings are stressful for parents. We know because as parent advocates we have all sat at IEP tables and heard all about the things our kids struggle with in school. We have also successfully helped families work together with schools to think outside the box to implement up to date and best practice educational strategies for kids with Down syndrome. Your donations can help ensure advocates are available to families when they need them the most.
