Buddy Walk, October 27th, Saluda Shoals Park

 

Join us on October 27th as we celebrate 25 years of Buddy Walk in Columbia! Here are a few opportunities for you to make an impact and support all of our Buddies.   Start a Fundraising Page: Online fundraising is an easy way to raise awareness of your family's story and raise funds to support Buddy Walk and Family Connection! It takes just minutes to create your page. Then share the link to your page on your social media channels and in an email to your personal and professional networks. Remember to make a donation to your own page--how about $25 in honor of our 25th anniversary? Start your page!

Tailgating! We'd love to have our tailgating teams create a Trunk or Treat celebration for the kids! Costumes optional! If you have not reserved a tailgating space please reserve now or by Sunday, October 20!

Nifty Fifty Fundraising Challenge: For every $50 your team raises from Saturday, October 19 through Friday, October 25, you’ll receive a chance to receive a $25 Target gift card! Teams who have set a goal, this is your week to meet it or aim higher and exceed it! Attention teams who have not started fundraising: Let’s go from $0 to hero!
