Celebrating 15 Years—Over $400,000 Raised for Inclusion!

This year marked the 15th anniversary of both The FOUNDATION and our Tour of Champions Bowl-A-Thon & Silent Auction—a milestone made possible by the incredible support of our community! Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors, and champions like YOU, we celebrated this special occasion by raising over $400,000 to continue empowering individuals with Down syndrome and their families.

For 15 years, The FOUNDATION has been dedicated to creating opportunities, breaking down barriers, and building a more inclusive community. Your support has helped fund vital programs such as educational workshops, career readiness initiatives, social and recreational opportunities, and family support services. Because of YOU, we have spent 15 years ensuring that individuals with Down syndrome have the resources they need to thrive. When POTENTIAL is given OPPORTUNITY, the outcome is SUCCESS.

This milestone would not have been possible without our incredible community.


  • The 100+ teams who participated in person and virtually,
  • the generosity of our donors,
  • the dedication of our sponsors,
  • and the passion of our volunteers has all contributed to the success of this event!

THANK YOU for being part of this journey. Together, we will continue to create more opportunities to learn, play, celebrate, work, connect, and grow!
