The annual Buddy Walk® in Bloomington is more than a walk, it's a family reunion. Whether you have Down syndrome, know someone who does or just want to show your support – we invite you to join us for a great event as we unite for a common cause and raise funds to support Down Syndrome Family Connection.
October is Down Syndrome Awareness month, so what better time than this to celebrate!

About the Buddy Walk®
The Buddy Walk® was established by the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. It has since grown to be the world's largest and most recognizable Down syndrome awareness program with over 225 Walks taking place in 50 states and select international countries. In the past year, 300,000 walks collectively raised nearly $12 million, which is used to support local programs and services as well as national advocacy initiatives.
