About the DSANI Buddy Walk

The DSANI Buddy Walk is an acceptance walk and celebration that honors the accomplishments & abilities of our friends with Down syndrome.  It is also DSANI’s biggest fundraiser of the year; and the one that sustains our organization from year to year.  The funds raised via the Buddy Walk allow DSANI to continue to offer all of the programs and services that we have provided for over 20 years.

 2023 Buddy Walk Grand Marshal

Chloe Lynn Buck, 18, is a 2023 Carroll High School graduate. Chloe spent her high school years exploring the arts as she participated in dance choreography, theater arts, and choir. During Chloe’s junior year she began participating in the Champions Together program. Chloe became an active member of the unified basketball team, track and field team, Bocce ball team, bowling team, and flag football team. Chloe has earned her class letters and chevrons for her letter jacket in both track and field and flag football.  Last year Chloe applied to Clemson University to the Clemson LIFE program. While she was one of 40 individuals to be invited to an interview, she was not accepted into the program for 2023. Chloe handled the application and interview process so gracefully. As we continue to help Chloe explore post high school options, we are so proud of the young woman she has become and extremely grateful for her village!
