Step UP! for Down syndrome is a major fundraiser for Down Syndrome Victoria (DSV) and also helps create awareness of people with Down syndrome in our local community and to highlight the positive impact they have on those around them.
This is the first time since 2019 that the event has been held locally in Geelong in addition to the annual Melbourne based event.
It is a wonderful, family friendly event that brings together our local Down syndrome community and their friends in celebration.
The event kicks off with a community walk along the waterfront, which is always a highlight. On the day we will have live music and children’s entertainment, small games activations and face painting, as well as some food options in the form of a sausage sizzle and our ever popular cake stall. There will also be a raffle held on the day with some great prizes to for grabs.
The event is open to anyone – you can register online or on the day.
Date – Sunday 13th October
Location – Eastern Beach Reserve
Time – 9:30am – 1:30pm
Follow @downsyndrome_geelong for more information
Funds raised on the day will be put towards the wonderful programs and support networks provided by DSV for people with Down syndrome and their families both here in Geelong and across the state of Victoria.
