There are many different ways people can get involved and support the Dandy-Walker Community. Your support enables us to continue funding genetic research, spreading awareness, and connecting families worldwide with the best resources possible.
Your support comes in many different forms. Some of the most common ways people get involved are:
The Dandy-Walker Alliance raises money to fund neurodevelopmental genetics research led by Dr. Kimberly Aldinger at the Seattle Children’s Hospital. With your help, we can fund this research which comprehensively searches the genome for mutations associated with Dandy-Walker Syndrome.
You can support this research and help fund awareness programs and resources for families worldwide by hosting your own Dandy-Walker Alliance fundraiser! Organize an event locally – a walk/run, bake sale, car wash, restaurant fundraiser, etc. We’ll set up a personalized donation/sign up page for your event – complete with your story and photos – and supply you with t-shirts, wristbands, and promotional materials.
Email chris.rogers@dandy-walker.org to set up a fundraiser today!
You can support the Dandy-Walker Alliance and fund research with every eligible purchase on Amazon or share a virtual fundraiser with your Facebook community.

We’re excited to launch our new email newsletter (sign up here!) and a Stories page on our website, highlighting Dandy-Walker journeys and accomplishments from around the world.
