Why is team fundraising important?

Rewards.Fundraising is always optional. Every team helps celebrate our community and raise awareness. If you choose to fundraise, here's how we'll celebrate YOU!

Team fundraising is an important part of Step Up. Helping to raise funds for DSCNWA to fulfill our mission and deliver our core programs: age specific programming and workshops, member support and medical outreach.

In 2024 our teams raised $24,100! Let’s see if we do even more in 2025!

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL

Team Captains that set up their team and raise $125 by 9/10/25 will receive a code for 20% off six Step Up for Down Syndrome Fundraiser Event Tickets.

*Wait to purchase your tickets until after you have earned and received your code. We can not retroactively apply the code after you have purchased tickets.

Team Spirit Awards, Fundraising Incentives and Recognition

A SPECIAL NOTE TO TEAM CAPTAINS Regarding Event T-shirts

This year, we're trying something new. Previously, event t-shirts with team names served as tickets.

 

To lower the Step Up ticket price and improve efficiency, we won't have event t-shirts this year.

 

Special t-shirts can be purchased separately from a drop ship website and mailed to your home.

 

We encourage teams to dress according to their team names to compete for team spirit awards!

Team Spirit Awards and Recognition

We want teams to go ALL OUT on team spirit and dress up in your team’s theme.

 

We will have three awards presented at the end of the event for teams that dress up.

 

Most Team Spirit

teams where everyone goes all in

Most Creative

teams with unique and clever themes

Most Humorous

teams that add a touch of humor
