The Buddy Walk was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to establish inclusion and acceptance of people with Down syndrome. The name “Buddy Walk” is a Trademark and promotes inclusion between friends of every ability. The Buddy Walk is the most widely publicized awareness program for the Down syndrome community!!

DSNOCC has made this a highlight event to include a family fun day that will be taking place at a new location this year! Mike’s Farm is located in Beulaville, NC. Festivities will kick off at 9 with the walk starting around 9:30. Please bring lawn chairs or a blanket to sit.

We will have a silent auction, games to play, and our Walk of Fame posters!

This is also our largest fundraiser. We are asking everyone to contribute at various impact levels. Be sure to review the ways you can make an impact and please share this page with your family and friends. We have local business sponsorship opportunities as well.

Your involvement is critical to our success in meeting our fundraising goal. Thank you again for your help.
