"In 1990, the average life expectancy of a person with Down syndrome was only 28 years old. Today, it is already 60! We gather today to celebrate our friends with disabilities going off to college, getting good jobs in the community, and moving out of their parents' homes! We are enormously grateful for those of you who are "thinking ability and starting with yes!" - Dawn Nuoffer, DSAW CEO. On Wednesday, August 14th, our Southeastern chapter hosted its 28th Annual Pip & Homer Golf Classic! This is one of our favorite fundraisers of the year and includes many local organizations and recognizable community figures. The weather was beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for a better day! A huge thank you to Paul Davis Restoration & Remodeling of Southeast WI, who presented us with a check for $53,000 from their July golf outing! We would also like to thank our exceptional golfers, donors, self-advocates, staff, board members, and volunteers who made this event successful. Thank you to all of our sponsors!

Excited to share a heartwarming moment at our facility! Our Production Manager Kimmi Roehrborn has been doing an amazing job teaching Nicholas, a neurodivergent associate from Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin how to use a piece of equipment on our hidden lid switch assembly line. Nicholas is new to manufacturing, and we're thrilled to have the opportunity to work with him and support his growth. As you can see from his face, one of the biggest things our basics to manufacturing program gives graduates is confidence in their abilities. A big thank you to DSAW for making this possible. Together, we're cultivating an inclusive and supportive workplace!
