DSAF "Shooting Stars" Program - Documenting the 2010 Step Up Walk
This pilot program is an offshoot from the Stars Tent at the Step Up Walk. The Stars Tent highlights all the accomplishments of our membership by displaying Bios within the tent. Individuals with Down syndrome make us all realize and appreciate that the smallest accomplishments are HUGE that others may take for granted - whether it is climbing a step for the first time, playing the Baritone in a marching band, or reading a book. As an extension of our Stars Bios, which sit static on the walls of the tent, we created the "Shooting Stars" concept to allow a group of volunteer college students to follow the DSAF Stars outside the tent and into their lives during the morning of the walk. Through text, quotes, and pictures, we hope that this accurately captures the heart-warming magic that is the Step Up Walk!
