Family and Friends,

WELCOME TO ELIZA'S DREAM TEAM PAGE!

We invite you to COME WALK with ELIZA and ask for your financial SUPPORT for the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Oregon whose programs, networking and unwavering commitment help realize the DREAMS of ALL individuals with Down syndrome. DSASO's vision is one we all share:

a world in which all members, including those with Down syndrome, are accepted, valued for their uniqueness, respected for their abilities and contributions, and assured the opportunity and choice to create their own path to fulfillment and success.

Every since Eliza was knee high to a grasshopper (21 years ago!) she has been CREATING and REACHING for her DREAMS!  Her EDUCATION, her SELF DETERMINATION, her CREATIVE SPIRIT, her DEDICATION and her PASSION have kept her on a steady course with plenty of help from so many of you, her "can do" friends. This year she obtained one of her dreams - to be able to ride a 2 wheeled bicycle!  She remains committed to reaching another dream - to continue her education as a college student.  The DREAM Team is all about standing in support of Eliza and helping her reach HER dreams; recognizing the importance of difference; and being the change we want to see in the world. Please JOIN US!

For those of you who CAN'T walk with us, we encourage you to support ELIZA'S DREAM TEAM and the Down Syndrome Association of Southern Oregon by making an ONLINE DONATION.

For those of you who CAN walk with us - WE CAN'T WAIT!!!! - All you need to do is sign in here, then invite your friends to COME TOO!  We encourage you to consider a donation and ask others TO SPONSOR YOU to walk with ELIZA and the DREAM TEAM.  Donations can be made either by check to DSASO or using the easy online donation screen on this page to help us REACH our TEAM GOAL of raising $3000. Think 100 Dream Team walkers, each with an average of $30 or more in sponsorships - say 6 people giving you $5 each or 3 people giving $10 each - ALL for a really GOOD CAUSE!  

To our incredible friends, family, classmates, teachers and community - THANK YOU! - Your unwavering support of ELIZA and her DREAMS this past year has meant the world to HER and to US. We are forever grateful for your FRIENDSHIPS, your CARING and your BELIEF in ELIZA and her ABILITIES.  

To ALL....with your help DREAMS really CAN come TRUE!

GO DREAM TEAM!!!!
