The 20th Annual Step Up Walk at the Berkley Riverfront Park for First Downs for Down Syndrome was an amazing success and our biggest turnout yet! Thanks to everyone who came out to support FDFDS, from the amazing teams of friends and family who walked for their loved ones to volunteers who made the day happen, we appreciate each and everyone one of you.
With your help, we raised over 500 thousand dollars, more than any other First Downs event in our organization’s history! With these contributions, we can help more families and their children in the area more than ever before. Watch the video below to see all the fun times we shared that day!
Though it was a brisk day, we had blue skies and a whole park full of exciting activities for everyone who came out! The fresh food, pony rides, pumpkin bowling and other pumpkin games were popular with the younger kids on the east side of the park with the beautiful Bond bridge on the horizon. On the west side of the park, we had delicious KFC catering, fun juggling and entertainment performances, trampolines, and the challenging rock wall to continue the fun.
And of course, in the middle right near the Step Up Walk’s starting line, we had tons of awesome bounce houses and stage where we had fun activities going on all day. The best part of the day was seeing all the tents filled with teams who turned out to support someone special in their lives who they chose to walk for that day.
Check out the rest of the awesome photos from the walk on our Facebook! We can’t wait to see you again next year for an even bigger and better walk!
