We are thrilled to announce that the 17th Annual Inland NW Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk was a resounding success! More than 500 friends, family and kids gathered for a day of celebration and empowerment at the Discovery Place Playground in Spokane Valley.

We came together to walk, enjoy the entertainment and activities, share our experiences, and make new friends — all in support of our amazing Down syndrome community.

Thank you very much to all our participants, sponsors, organizers and volunteers who made the annual Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk a huge success. It is because of you that Ds Connections NW can continue to support, educate, and connect with those in our community who have been touched by Down syndrome. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
