The Brady family of Columbia is serving as Ambassadors for this year's Buddy Walk! The Bradys have supported Buddy Walk since 2019, and are excited to serve in this volunteer role.
"We encourage Buddy Walk families to join us and our team, Dade's Aviators, in raising funds in honor of Down Syndrome Awareness Month and the mission of Family Connection" says Dade's mom, Heather Brady.
Catch a glimpse into a day at the park with the Brady family. You will see Dade is an outgoing 3-year-old ready to offer an energetic smile to everyone he meets!
We are proud to announce...
