Supporting Local Programs

Every dollar raised through the Best Buddies Friendship Walk helps create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) around the world. Through our Friendship, Leadership, Jobs, Living, and Family Support programs, we help people with IDD build meaningful friendships, develop leadership skills, secure integrated employment, live more independently, and strengthen family connections. Together, we're creating a world where everyone belongs.
