Long Island Festival of Races "Team WSA" Inspires a Brother/Athlete

05/24/2019 - 10:46 am |

WSA Staff

2019 is the 10th anniversary of Team WSA at the Long Island Marathon Festival of Races. With runners and walkers registered for the one mile run up through the full marathon, runners and teams fundraising for the WSA have raised more than $300,000 since 2010. This year’s event, the weekend of May 4th and 5th, will only add to that generous total.  Thank you to Rob Dell'Unto and his family as well as the committee who has worked to organize this every year.

Stand Up and Be Appreciated

04/16/2015 - 12:02 pm |

WSA Staff

In 2014, the WSA was honored to welcome more than 800 volunteers who, in turn, logged more than 13,000 hours on our behalf!  They helped us at the National Convention and throughout Awareness Month.  They lent their assistance at local conferences, fundraisers, and social events.  They are there for us as Board members and Regional Chairs.  They participate in our special program initiatives and on Board committees.  Volunteers are an integral part of everything we do, providing nearly 2 years of service hours to our membership during just 1 year!

Inclusion statement

The WSA upholds the following positions on inclusion.  We believe that:

  • everyone benefits when individuals with WS are meaningfully included in educational, work, and community settings
  • individuals with WS should receive all necessary supports and services to fully participate in their family lives, communities, and society as a whole
  • high expectations should be the norm, and that individuals with WS and their families should decide how they best learn, work, and enjoy social settings
  • “inclusion” is not one-size-fits-all, and will look different for each family based on each individual’s desires and needs
  • inclusion creates a sense of belonging in society, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to achieve dreams
