SHOW YOUR SUPPORT WITH WSA GEAR!

Shop our official Williams Syndrome Association store to help spread awareness and show your pride! From yard signs and t-shirts to mugs and tote bags, every purchase helps spark conversations, celebrate inclusion, and support our mission. Wear it, Share it, Make a difference!

MAKE MAY MATTER! CREATE YOUR OWN FUNDRAISER!

During Awareness Month, it’s important to recognize not just Williams syndrome, but the Williams Syndrome Association and the work done to support families nationwide. From the Family Support Network to in-person events to funding medical and behavioral research, the WSA strives to leave no stone unturned for families and individuals with WS. But awareness only gets us some of the way to where we need to be.

From May 1 - May 31, we’re turning awareness into action! This fundraising event will empower people to turn the excitement of celebrating awareness month into a contribution to help fund and grow our mission to create Connections, provide Resources, and to fund and encourage Research.

Here's how you can get involved:

  • Create a WSA Awareness Month/ Weekend for Williams Fundraising page at teamwsa.org, tell your story, then share it across your networks. Creating your own page will also create your own text-to-give code.
  • Share your fundraiser, or teamwsa.org with EVERYONE YOU KNOW!  Tell your personal story… share the impact the WSA has had. The worst someone can say is no.
  • Share our social posts. You don’t even have to write your own. Just share our daily posts in May, and get people to join us on Facebook live May 31.

Start your own fundraiser, facilitate a company financial match, and encourage people to text donations directly to the WSA by texting WSAMAY to 71777.
