More than a walk — a movement to empower, educate, and unite.

This year’s Walk for a Million Dreams is going to be an unforgettable, high-energy celebration—and we want YOU to be a part of it! Whether you’re walking in honor of someone you love or just want to support a great cause, the best way to get involved is to start a team and invite others to join you.

You’ll help raise funds that power real, local programs for people with Down syndrome in Kern County. We’re 100% volunteer-run, and as the first and only Down syndrome-specific organization in Bakersfield, every dollar you raise stays right here at home.

  • Because every step you take and every dollar you raise helps us:

Welcome new families with outreach and support

Host inclusive events and joyful community gatherings

Offer education nights, support groups, and resources

Connect families to life-changing services

Empower individuals with Down syndrome to shine

Your donation isn’t just appreciated—it’s transformational.

Create a team and rally your friends, family, school, or coworkers. It’s fun, it’s meaningful—and you’ll be part of something truly impactful.
