About the Dash for Dysphagia

How are you going to dash this year? Will you be walking, strolling, running, biking, swimming, roller-skating, or doing something else? 

The DRS Dash for Dysphagia is a fun way for friends and colleagues around the world to join together in their support of the DRS Research and Education Fund (R&E Fund).

This VIRTUAL event will help raise funds to support early investigators from across the globe through travel scholarships offered for our 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting and support the DRS Research and Education Fund which will help establish future scholarships and grants to our members.

Show your support by signing up as an individual and raise funds, joining a team and competing against others around the world to see who can raise the most funds, or sponsoring the event.

Participate at anytime and anywhere during the week of June 8-15.
