Welcome to WVDSA!

Welcome to the Willamette Valley Down Syndrome Association. Our goal is to provide support for families in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and surrounding areas, who find themselves in the delightful position of raising a child with Down syndrome. Initially, there are so many questions and concerns you may have when you become parents of a child with Down syndrome - the kind of questions that can only be answered by other parents who have “been there, done that!” – but we also hope to provide information in many other areas. If we can’t answer your questions, hopefully we can point you in the right direction to find those answers!

 Upcoming Events

WVDSA 10th Annual Buddy Walk.
Saturday, September 27, 2008 at 10 AM.

This year marks our 10th annual Buddy Walk and we have Rachel from Signing Time joining us! For more information, check out her website at www.signingtime.com

The Buddy Walk is a perfect time to invite your friends, neighbors, teachers, etc. to share in the fun while promoting acceptance and inclusion for everyone.

Click here to download your Pledge Sheet to bring the day of the walk.

We will be at the Amphitheater located in Riverfront Park in Salem. Registration at the park will start at 10:00am.

A variety of snacks will be served to all of our guests. There will be a GREAT raffle with tickets only costing $1.00; as well as activities for all to enjoy!

In addition, this year on Friday night, September 26, there will be a Signing Time concert in Salem at Morningstar Community Church, see below for details.

Tickets will be $5.00 for the concert or the Buddy Walk. One ticket will allow you to get in to either event or both of them.

With regret we must cut off the on-line registrations to give our volunteers adequate time to prepare for this year's events. We feel fortunate to have such overwhelming support from our community! THANK YOU!!

Please plan to come to the Buddy Walk a few minutes early to register on-site. We look forward to seeing you and having a rousing good time on Friday and/or Saturday!
