Buddy Walk. kids run across a field


Thank you for making Buddy Walk 2025 a wonderful day!

Buddy Walk is held each year in honor of families who have a child with Down syndrome. This year, families, individuals, and businesses  started fundraising in September and then, on November 2 we gathered together for an afternoon of fall festivities, family-fun, a mini-walk, and an awards presentation to honor each of our participating Buddies and our top fundraisers! 

Donations can still be made: Donate now!
