HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We will be needing many committee chairpersons to make the 2008 event a success. Please watch for information regarding the upcoming Buddy Walk Meetings. Please consider volunteering even if only you have a limited amount of time. Every little bit helps. Everyone can start now by asking for Corporate Sponsorships. We have letters available to be sent to your employers, local businesses, banks, hospitals, doctors offices, and service groups that support community organizations. If you feel you will be more successful by presenting the letter personally, just call the office and we will provide a letter to be hand-delivered. Don't be afraid to ask! Many have at least a small budget for community support and involvement.

The Buddy Walk has three primary goals:
  • To promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome;
  • To raise funds locally and nationally for education, research and advocacy programs; and
  • To enhance the position of the Down syndrome community, enabling us to positively influence local and national policy and practice.

The Buddy Walk is a one-mile walk in which anyone can participate without special training. It is a wonderful, heart-warming 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 Buddy Walk!
