A few weeks ago, one of our littlest Dash for Down Syndrome window winners stepped in front of the camera, and brought a whole lot of love with him. 💙 Ollie has spent the summer growing, learning, and building new skills in LMNOP, with his family cheering him on every step of the way. We can’t wait to share the beautiful photos from his special shoot and watch this sweet boy keep growing right before our eyes!

Thank you to: Storymark Photography owner Lo**ta Beylina (Beyli)

We are also excited to work with president, Chris Sherman of Brilliant DPI again!

Remember that special morning when the Special Fathers Network U.S. Tour stopped at GiGi’s Playhouse Milwaukee? 💙 Now you can hear more of the story!

Rodger Northouse joined David Hirsch for the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast, sharing his journey as a father, the birth of his son Reed, how his family’s journey has evolved over the years, and the importance of connection and community for families raising children with disabilities.

Rodger and Jennifer were also part of the founding group that helped bring GiGi’s Playhouse Milwaukee to life more than a decade ago, making this conversation especially meaningful to us.

🎙️ Take a listen, share it with another parent or caregiver, and help us continue the conversation!

Thank you, Rodger, for sharing your story and continuing to support families in our community with wife Jennifer through their business Let Us Ride Adaptive Bicycles (you may recall them from the last two Dash for Down Syndrome 5K's). 💙💛 https://ow.ly/oGKI50ZIth0

🎉🧁 What a SWEET success for our Achievers! 🍪❤️
Our Achiever’s Summer Bake Sale was an incredible celebration of all the hard work, growth, and skills our adult participants have developed this session!

Even though only half of our amazing Achievers are pictured here, the whole group deserves a HUGE round of applause! 👏 They raised over $400 while gaining valuable real-world experience: making sales, completing transactions, interacting with customers, handling money, and working together as a team. 💪💵

From baking the treats to running the sale, our Achievers showed just how capable, confident, and hardworking they are. We couldn’t be more proud!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by, purchased a treat, and supported our Achievers. Your support helps make opportunities like this possible! ❤️

Check out the photos and give them some love!
