Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to bring to the walk?
Just bring yourself and a smile! We’ll provide the food, drinks and the fun.
Can I bring my pet?
Check with your local Best Buddies office. If the walk location allows pets, then so do we! Of course, service animals are always allowed.
What happens if it rains on the day of the Friendship Walk?
The show will go on! If stormy weather is in the forecast, there may be location and/or schedule changes. We’ll be sure to keep you informed by email (if you’re registered to walk) and will post updates on our website and social media.
Is the Friendship Walk T-shirt available for purchase?
The official Best Buddies Friendship Walk T-shirt is a badge of honor, so to speak, and is only given in recognition to walkers that raise $50 or more. (And how awesome would that be if EVERY registered walker earned one? Let’s make that happen!)
I made a $50 donation to my child’s fundraising page – will I get a T-shirt?
Thank you! Your donation will count towards your child’s fundraising total so he/she will be the one who earns the T-shirt. (But maybe your generosity will earn you Parent-of-the-Year!)
Do you accept cash or check donations?
You bet we do! Simply bring it with you to the walk, or visit your local Best Buddies office. Either way, you’re awesome for asking 🙂
Can I volunteer at the event?

How will the Coronavirus affect the event?
Our team is closely monitoring and evaluating the situation around the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We want to ensure you that we are taking all necessary measures to protect the health and well-being of our Friendship Walk participants.
The Best Buddies Team is currently assessing alternative Friendship Walk plans for scenarios in which social distancing practices are set in motion. As soon as we can, we’ll be sharing that with you. As always, thank you for your support of the Best Buddies mission.
