Although registration will be available on walk day, please use this website for registration and on-line donation collection.  This will allow the volunteers who put our event together to be able to enjoy time with our families and loved ones more by having all of this done up front.

Please start a "team page" for each loved one with Down Syndrome and then solicit team members.  You will be able to customize your team page and e-mail letters for support.

If you need assistance in creating your team page, please call Shelly Blackwell at 276-698-4861 or e-mail at shwiseman@bvunet.net

The Buddy Walk is FRIENDS only fundraising event.   We have three primary goals:

• To promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down Syndrome;
• To raise funds locally and nationally for education, research, and support for our family members with Down Syndrome;
• To move towards a society where all members are valued for their uniqueness, respected for their contribution and assured opportunity and choice to create their own path.

Please come out and enjoy our special day!
