Join us for Kern County’s largest Down syndrome awareness celebration! The Walk for a Million Dreams brings together families, advocates, and community partners for a powerful day of inclusion, joy, and support. Last year, we welcomed over 1,500 attendees, and this year promises to be even bigger!
Whether you walk, sponsor, volunteer, or donate—you’re helping us build a world where individuals with Down syndrome are celebrated, supported, and included every step of the way.
💙 💛Why we walk:
Proceeds from this event fund year-round programs for individuals with Down syndrome and their families across Kern County, including new family outreach, support groups, inclusive social events, teen and adult programming, and more. We are 100% volunteer-run and powered by community generosity.
🎟️ Ways to get involved:
✔️ Register a team and walk with us
✔️ Become a sponsor and make a lasting impact
✔️ Sign up as a vendor to connect with over 2,000 attendees
✔️ Volunteer your time and talents
✔️ Donate or fundraise to help us reach our goals
Vendor and sponsorship opportunities are available now, including $100 off vendor registration through August 1st. Self-advocates and public agencies receive free vendor space!
