As we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2026, the Dandy-Walker Alliance is looking to expand our reach and host fundraisers and awareness events around the country. These events serve to raise awareness, unite and connect Dandy-Walker families, and raise money to support research initiatives. 

You can get in on the action by hosting your own event, working with us to organize one, or even just coming out to attend an event in your area. Whether it’s a walk/run, bake sale, car wash, restaurant fundraiser, or any other kind of event, the possibilities are endless!

If you want to set up your own event, we’ll do all the behind the scenes work for you. 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 ted.levasseur@dandy-walker.org to learn more and get started today!
