Working On Walking (WOW) is a non-profit, 501c3 certified organization that aims to help pave the way to cure Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The title, “Working On Walking (WOW)”, was coined by a woman named Alyssa Silva, who has SMA I, As a lil kid Alyssa would have lemonade stands to raise money for Spinal Muscular Atrophy and has since ventured into other creative ventures designed to raise funds and awareness for this cause. Fast forward a decade and Alyssa is still committed to her cause. RI and neighboring businesses take note, here is your chance to advertise your business and or service by offering a gift certificate / item to be raffled off during our highly attended event.
