WOW! It’s hard to believe that we will be celebrating our 26th year of our annual walk-a-thon! The date has been set for the 26th Annual DSIG “Walk for Our Kids”! This event is our major fundraising event for the year and allows us to continue to provide outreach and social activities for our families. It’s a FUN morning and a great time to meet other families. We will need people in the group to make contact with any businesses that they know to see if they are willing to become one of our $500 sponsors for the event. As a $500 sponsor, their company logo will be featured on the back of the event t-shirt. We will also need items for baskets from businesses, baskets donated by businesses and DSIG families & friends, and raffle and silent auction items. The letter for donations is ready now, so if you have a business contact and need a letter, please send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will get one out to them. This event takes a lot of planning and volunteers will be needed (sign up to volunteer), so I’ll let you all know in the near future where help is needed. Any questions about this event, just give me a shout!
When: Saturday, April 2, 2016, 8-10am
Where: Springfield Mall
Join us for a night of true stories about some of our first friends and enemies: our siblings. Storytellers from the “A Fierce Kind of Love” storytelling workshops will take to the stage with their true tales about how disability affects families. You’re invited to throw your name into the hat, and share your own story about a brother or sister too!

The date has been set, so please mark your calendars! This is our only fundraiser for DSIG and it helps to pay for all of the wonderful events that we offer all year long. If you have a business that you know would like to be a sponsor of this event, please contact Patty White at [email protected]. Look for more details about this event in the next few weeks! It takes a village to run this event, so I will be in touch shortly about ways that families can get involved this year.
Details to follow.

Maggie McHugh from Notre Dame asked me to share their bike camp information with the members of DSIG. This year they will be hosting this camp for their 9th year! I can tell you from personal experience that this was one of the best decisions that I have made in my life when I decided to sign Lauren up for this camp! We did not find this camp until Lauren was 21 years old, but I always knew that she could ride, we just needed to find the right way to teach her. Thanks to this camp, Lauren is an awesome and safe bike rider and we very much enjoy our very long bike rides in Ocean City, NJ!
When: June 25-29, 2018
Where: Academy of Notre Dame

DSIG will reimburse families who are current, paid members of DSIG, for the cost of one camp, at the completion of the camp. You will need to pay for the camp up front, and then once your child has completed the camp, you can submit a receipt for reimbursement to DSIG for the cost of the camp.
