The Hurley family started raising money for the Down syndrome Association of Memphis after Marvin and Angie had their son, Joshua with Down Syndrome. While Joshua was the best thing to happen to them, they quickly realized that there were some things they needed to learn. The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis not only taught them things they needed to know, but it also gave them friends who have become more like family who are experiencing the same things. The Hurley family continues to hold this event each year to help raise money so other families can have the resources they had, along with the friendships that they have to this day.

WELCOME!
