The DD Hero Walk

Our community of people with developmental disabilities is not short on local heroes! Our heroes include businesses and individuals that inspire others and advocate for our underserved community. There are people who TAKE ACTION on behalf of those in our local developmental disability community! We would like to celebrate you!

Join us for a fun afternoon of music, games and fun at Curtiss Park in Saline for the 1st ANNUAL DD Hero Walk!  Dress as your favorite hero or super hero!  Chum up with a few characters, get your face painted, jump in bouce houses, eat a little popcorn, try your hand at making cotton candy, show off your dance moves and blow bubbles the size of your head!  It's going to be a blast!!!  (Bring tables if you want one, blankets and chairs!  We would much rather the money donated go to the center rather than renting equipment!!  :)~   )

The DD Hero Walk celebrates our community members (ALL ages ... ALL developmental disabilities) and those that support them.  On site registration will start at 1:30 and the walk will start at 3:00 pm.  The walk will end with good food, great music and wonderful community connections!
