The Buddy Walk® helps us:

  • Promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome.
  • Raise funds that allow us to help the local Down syndrome community and their families.  In the past several years we have used the funds to help families with camp, sporting activates, medical expenses and education expenses.  We have helped adult persons with Down syndrome with being able to have money for leisure, clothing for job interviews, medical expenses and community involvement.

  • Enables us to positively influence local and national policy and practice.

 

 

The Buddy Walk® was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome.  The Buddy Walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 300 walks planned for 2010 worldwide.  In 2009, more than $9.5 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy and public awareness initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
