Dup15q Alliance Volunteer Opportunities
Pledge to Host a Believe Walk
You can bring awareness and advocacy for dup15q in your local community. You have the ability to unite fellow dup15q families, extended support, friends, and supporters to raise awareness and funds that will advance the Dup15q Alliance Mission. It’s a chance for families to connect with others, share stories, ask questions, and celebrate our families. In many states that already host a walk there are activities for families, games, and refreshments. It truly is a family fun day!

Host a Dup15q Family Gathering
Give the gift of connections by hosting a Dup15q Family State/Regional Gathering.
These get-togethers offer families the opportunity to make new friends, renew old ties, and spend some relaxed time together with other families. Past organizers have said it only takes a couple of hours to plan spread over a few weeks.
It is a unique opportunity to spend time with families who completely understand the challenges and joys of raising a child with Dup15q syndrome.
Dup15q Alliance offers Family Gathering Grants at a flat rate of $250 to any gatherings of four or more Dup15q Alliance Families support the cost of food associated or with location rental.
For more information or to sign up to host a gathering, contact outreach@dup15q.org
