Buddy Walk 1999

On a rainy Saturday in September 1999, we held our first Buddy Walk in Foster Park. About 150 supporters braved the downpours to walk and raise $6,000. For the first year, we were amazed by the support and turnout. Since this is our main fundraising event, the money that was collected is used to help build the dream we have of establishing an organization in northeast Indiana to enhance the lives of individuals with Down Syndrome, provide information and support to families and professionals, and promote awareness and acceptance of individuals with Down Syndrome within our community.

Thank you to all who are making this dream possible!
