While May is Williams Syndrome Awareness Month ®, our mission extends beyond a single month. Help us make a difference by organizing fundraising events and supporting our cause throughout the year.
The WSA aims to increase understanding and support for individuals with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic condition. Join us in raising both awareness and funds for research, connections and resources by hosting a Walk for Williams, planning a golf tournament or even hosting a bake sale or car wash. Reach out on social media to share stories and organize online fundraisers.
Your involvement as a parent, friend, sibling, or neighbor is invaluable. Together, let's promote Williams Syndrome Awareness and create a more inclusive society. Thank you for your interest and support.
