OUR MISSION

DS Connections NW, a 501(c)3 organization, strives to be a network of support, information, and resources focused on improving the quality of life of persons with Down syndrome.

Our goal is to provide a single point of connection for people with a Ds diagnosis, their families, and the community at large through a diversity of social and informative opportunities.

A Look Back at the 2026 Step Up for Down syndrome Walk

2025 Step UP for Down syndrome Walk participants

The 18th Annual Inland NW Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk on September 26, 2025 was memorable day!

The team at DS Connections NW thanks everyone who participated: those who walked, our invaluable volunteers, and our generous donors, and sponsors. We deeply appreciate everyone for joyfully coming together to uplift local DS families.

As our community continues to grow, so does the need for our programs serving families in Northern Idaho and Eastern Washington. The Step UP for DS Walk is our flagship fundraising event. Your support, as well as the support of businesses and organizations based in Washington and Idaho, enable us to continue offering vital programs and events, empowering families and individuals with Down syndrome.
