Join the Game-Changer: Zach Charbonnet and the WSA!Seattle Running Back Zach Charbonnet with his custom WSA Cleats

Explore the impactful journey of Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks running back, as he selects the Williams Syndrome Association (WSA) for the NFL's My Cause My Cleats campaign. With a personal connection through his sister, Bella, Zach is set to bring awareness to Williams syndrome.

Stay tuned as Zach hits the field in custom WSA cleats when the Seattle Seahawks play the Dallas Cowboys on November 30, 2023.

Take part in the action by downloading our coloring sheet below, have your loved ones with Williams syndrome to design their own cleats. Snap a picture with them holding the design and share on social media tag the WSA and use #MyCauseMyCleats and #WSAwareness - cheering on #ZachCharbonnet.

Together, let's kick off a movement that goes beyond the end zone—a movement that raises awareness, celebrates community, and turns every step into a touchdown for Williams syndrome!

Position on Inclusion

The WSA upholds the following positions on inclusion. We believe that: 

  • everyone benefits when individuals with WS are meaningfully included in educational, work, and community settings 
  • individuals with WS should receive all necessary supports and services to fully participate in their family lives, communities, and society as a whole
  • high expectations should be the norm, and individuals with WS and their families should decide how they best learn, work, and enjoy social settings
  • “inclusion” is not one-size-fits-all, and will look different for each family based on each individual’s desires and needs
  • inclusion creates a sense of belonging in society, meaningful relationships, and opportunities to achieve dreams
