The 16th annual Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome is this weekend at the National Peanut Fairgrounds.
Skylar Celeste Boone If you’re hoping to find a way to support or celebrate members of your family or community with Down Syndrome, then going to the Buddy Walk on March 16 might be helpful for you.
That money goes to specifically support the families in the area who have a family member with Down Syndrome. They provide educational resources, social activities, and opportunities for families to get together. There’s a national convention that happens annually, and families usually only attend when it’s within driving distance.
“This event is important because it funds absolutely everything that we do all throughout the year,” said Heather Adkins, administrative assistant for F.R.I.E.N.DS. “Every party, every social event, every book we purchase for our families, any conferences that we send them to, just absolutely anything that we do for our families.”
