The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Richmond invites you, your family, friends, co-workers & the community to support our

3rd Annual Buddy Walk!

The Buddy Walk was established by the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to promote acceptance, awareness and inclusion of people with Down syndrome (DS) and to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October. It has evolved into the single largest awareness vehicle for DS worldwide. Approximately 250,000 people participated in over 275 walks in 2008!

Join us for a family-friendly, fun-filled day at the Richmond Raceway Complex (Shine: Racetrack; Rain: Old Dominion Building) on Saturday, October 10, 2009 (11AM-3PM), to include:

Live music & entertainment
Children's activities
