The Best Buddies Global Friendship Walk is an opportunity to come together to on one night to support inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (also known as IDD).

In honor of National Best Friend Day, on June 8, 2023, we will be hosting a virtual walk party! Join the Best Buddies global community from wherever you are in the world for a special online ‘fun’raising hour.

Together we can make the world more welcoming to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – one friendship, one job, and one life-changing connection at a time.

Supporting Best Buddies International

Funds raised through the Friendship Walk benefits Best Buddies – the world’s largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our programs empower the special abilities of people with IDD by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society.

The IDD community that Best Buddies serves includes, but is not limited to, people with Down Syndrome, Autism, Fragile X, Williams Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, traumatic brain injury and other undiagnosed disabilities.
