Our first ever Buddy Walk took place 9/3/11 and we had a GREAT turnout. Our goal was surpassed by more than we could have ever imagined. With your help, we raised over $12,000 and had 400+ participants. So, thank you. We hope you will join us again in 2012!
Buddy Walk
The Buddy Walk® was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. Today, the Buddy Walk program is supported nationally by NDSS and organized at the local level by parent support groups, schools and other organizations and individuals.
Over the past sixeen years, the Buddy Walk program has grown from 17 walks to nearly 300 expected in 2011 across the country and around the world.
The Buddy Walk is a one-mile walk in which anyone can participate without special training. It is an inspirational and educational event that celebrates the many abilities and accomplishments of people with Down syndrome. Whether you have Down syndrome, know someone who does, or just want to show your support, come and join The KAMI Group's Walk of Watertown.
