Buddy Walk

2011 Buddy Walk

The Buddy Walk is almost here! In less than a month we will return to Etiwan Park for the 8th annual Buddy Walk and a great day of inclusion and acceptance for all those living with Down syndrome. Come out and join us for the one mile walk, the dancing and music, food and fun.

The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to promote acceptance and awareness of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk program has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to more than 300 walks in 2009 with our LOWCOUNTRY BUDDY WALK ranking third in the nation in attendance behind only New York and Chicago!We encourage people with Down syndrome to
invite “buddies” - everyone from friends and family to teachers and co-workers to join them atthe Buddy Walk. Whether you have Down
syndrome or know and care for someone who does, or just want to show your support, come and join our Buddy Walk.
Anyone can be a buddy!
