What is a Hybrid Event?

In 2020 our walk pivoted quickly during the COVID 19 pandemic, we moved virtual and even hosted a socially distant Care-A-Van in multiple areas. This year our hope is to be together in outdoor spaces in smaller groups. Though we know we will need to still keyed in to vaccine roll outs and government restrictions. Join us in person at our walk if you and your group feel safe, if you would to still join us in a virtual space we will have exciting opportunities for you as well, to be released over the next few months. Thank you for your support of Best Buddies we hope to “see” you in the way you feel most comfortable in 2021!
