Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk 2010!

  • Who: Caydence's Friends and Family
  • What: The MADSS Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk
  • When: Saturday October 23rd, 2010 from 9:30am - 1:00pm
  • Where: The Alliant Energy Center Exhibition Hall
  • Why: To show your support for Caydence and raise money for the Madison Area Down Syndrome Society
It has been a big first year for Caydence and what a better way to celebrate than to Step UP for Down Syndrome! This year the Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk will be held on Saturday, October 23rd at the Alliant Energy Center Exhibition Hall. We are inviting all our friends and family to attend. There will be music, mascots, bounce houses, a balloon artist, face painting, children's craft area, a silent auction, lunch and of course the ceremonial walk! There has been less than ideal weather the past few years, so this year the walk activities will be held indoors, but as long as the weather cooperates, the walk itself will be held outdoors. :)

 
Last year Team Caring 4 Caydence raised a whopping $2,429.00. So this year our team goal is to raise $2,500! All money goes towards the Madison Area Down Syndrome Society which is an organization that is very dear to us.
