Walk For Down Syndrome Awareness 2025

Family and Community Support Day

Our Walk For Down Syndrome Awareness is an annual family event that brings together families and friends to raise awareness of people with Down syndrome to the community and to spread the message that individuals with Down syndrome possess a wide range of abilities and are valuable, contributing members in our community. There will be games, activities, Face painting and this year we will have Kona Ice Food Truck on site!

The Fraser Valley Down Syndrome Society is a volunteer parent-run local Down syndrome support group based in Abbotsford serving the communities from Langley to Hope.

You are welcome to join our online fundraising campaign to raise funds for the FVDSS to continue supporting families with a member who has Down syndrome.

Whether you have a family member with Down syndrome, know someone who does, or just want to show your support, donate or register to attend today!

Help us spread the word that all are welcome for our day of celebration!

Fundraising prizes: Prizes given for Top Fundraisers – monies collected and submitted by midnight of April 19.

Winners must be present at the draw at the Walk event to receive fundraiser prize.
