Event Overview
The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is the number one walk in the country raising awareness and funds to support inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). When you walk with us, you can also expect to dance, laugh, smile and make a new friend. It will be one big party! But the best part? You’ll be growing your local Best Buddies programs dedicated to one-to-one friendships, leadership development, integrated employment, and inclusive living opportunities for individuals with IDD. Every walk is the chance to show our communities how far we’ve come. It’s also the perfect way to celebrate the abilities and uniqueness within of us all. Join us! The party wouldn’t be the same without you.
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?
