Thank you for visiting Taylor's fundraising page for the 2009 DSAGR Buddy Walk!
THE 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. At least 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
- Food
- Vendor & Sponsor Displays
- Down syndrome advocacy organizations
- RIR pace car rides
- 3/4 mile walk around the racetrack!
