New this year, we will be mailing T-shirts to all participants who raise at least $150. T-shirts will not be available for pick-up at the event.
If you raise $150 or more after the shipping cut-off for the walk you are attending, your t-shirt will be sent to you after the event.
Shirts are being mailed to ensure you will get the size you requested. Additionally, the new program will cut down on waste and will allow for cost savings, so that more of your fundraising dollars are directed to our mission - to advance the interests of all individuals with Williams syndrome throughout their lifespan by providing programming and resources, supporting research, promoting partnerships and connections.
If you have any questions, please contact our Director of Walks, Denise Callen, at dcallen@williams-syndrome.org or (248) 688-0548.
