Every dollar of donation matters!

StepUp costs $13,000 to put on each so, so to make our Fundraising Budget of $30,000 we need to have a total income of at least $43,000.

This is a big challenge but we know you want to help.

We still have a way to go! Its not too late to start fundraising and contribute to DSWA now! https://www.mycause.com.au/events/stepupanddance-dswa

With only 6 days to go our fundraising tally really needs some help!

There's still time to fundraise and make a difference at https://www.mycause.com.au/events/stepupanddance-dswa

If every team coming raises just a small amount it will make a big difference to people living with a diagnosis of Down syndrome.

Down Syndrome WA relies heavily on donations and fundraising to continue our work. Many people assume we receive government funding to operate, but we do not receive any state government funding. Instead, we sustain our programs and services through a mix of competitive grant applications, NDIS and fee-for-service income, and—most importantly—the generous donations and fundraising support of our community.

StepUp and Dance for Down Syndrome is a crucial fundraiser for DSWA and our community.

How can you contribute?
- Register to come and dance on the day at https://www.mycause.com.au/event_registration/register/5909
- Make a donation at https://donate.mycause.com.au/cause/378846
- Fundraise your way which can be a bright socks day at work, exercise challenge, dance in your office or anything that works for you.
