Family Connection’s Buddy Walk is held in honor of families who have a child with Down syndrome. Join us this year as we celebrate 25 years of Buddy Walk in Columbia!
How to Support Buddy Walk 2024:
- Click the "Start Fundraising" button to set up your team's fundraising page. You can share the link to your page to invite people to donate to your team! All team members can use and share the same link to the same page to raise money for your team!
- Parents: start your team page by registering as an individual. You can use your name or the name of your child. You will have an opportunity to upload a photo and to customize the text that appears on your page. If you have family or friends who want to help you raise funds to support Buddy Walk, share the link to your page with them, and ask them to share it too! Anyone who donates to your team will be recognized on your page (unless they choose to be anonymous).
- Our Buddies (individuals who have a diagnosis of Down syndrome) will receive a free T-shirt and will have their name printed on the T-shirt (if registered by October 9). For other attendees, T-shirts can be purchased. Order T-shirts!
