Event Details

Buddy Walk Logo

 

The Buddy Walk is a one mile walk in which any one can participate without special training.  It 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.  

The 2010 Buddy Walk funds will:

  • Go directly towards the DSAofNWI children and adults with Down Syndrome to ensure them the greatest opportunities possible (93%) and support the National Down Syndrome Society (7%)
  • Enhance our Web Site to include easier navigation, more resource links, and current information about our latest events
  • Provide more educational courses for DSA of NWI persons with Down syndrome
  • Obtain a more centralized and larger  office space to better meet the needs for all DSA of NWI members
