Our Upcoming Events

DASA Fundraising Events

If you’ve never attended a DASA fundraiser, you’re missing out! We have a spectacular selection of fun dinners, street parties, auctions, wine tastings, Texas Hold ‘Em tournaments, Oktoberfest, and so much more.

Since DASA receives a large amount of its funding from annual fundraising events hosted either by DASA or our great friends and supporters in our local community, these events make it possible for us to help individuals with disabilities improve their quality of life through sports and fitness, build a community of peers, gain independence, and thrive. Without these events and our sponsors, we could not do what we do.

• Saint Charles Oktoberfest 5k, 10k, & Fun Run
• Street Party Run of St.Charles
• Athletes-4-Athletes CrossFit Fundraiser
• Sportacular Evening Dinner & Auction
• DASA Charity Texas Hold’em Tournament
• Golf Tournament
• Pour Your Hearts Out for DASA (Wine Tasting & BBQ)

Interested in hosting an event benefiting the Disabled Athlete Sports Association? We would love to add another event! Contact us today.

By attending, sponsoring, or hosting DASA events, you’re supporting an entire community of individuals with disabilites and providing a means for a better quality of life through fitness.
