While the Friendship Walk is a free, family-friendly event, it is our largest fundraiser—supporting local Best Buddies Friendship and Leadership Development programs that create friendships, build confidence, and expand opportunities for individuals with IDD across our community.
Whether you walk, donate, or simply show up to celebrate—YOU are helping build a more inclusive world, thank you!
