Happy Walk 2024 at SM: Celebrating Inclusivity for our Natatanging Nilalang
Since its inception in 2003, Happy Walk has been synonymous with spreading joy, raising awareness, and fostering inclusivity for individuals with Down Syndrome and their families. What started as a humble gathering has grown into an annual program in various parts of the country, thanks to the unwavering support of SM Cares and the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines.
From SM Megamall and SM North EDSA to SM Mall of Asia, there is a home for Happy Walk through the years.
Over the years, Happy Walk has made its mark at various SM venues, starting from the parking lots of SM Megamall and SM Mall of Asia from 2007 to 2008, and moving to bigger event areas at Megatrade Hall and SM North EDSA Sky Dome from 2009 to 2010. Happy Walk eventually found its home at SMX Manila in the SM Mall of Asia Complex in 2016. Each step of the journey has been a testament to the power of community and the collective effort to create a more inclusive society.
As Happy Walk returns to SMX Manila at the SM Mall of Asia Complex, SM City Cebu, and SM City Bacolod, individuals can volunteer and join the festivities! Whether you're walking alongside individuals with Down Syndrome, participating in fun activities, or simply spreading awareness, your presence will make a difference.
Families and friends of the Down Syndrome community are invited to join Happy Walk 2024.
