The Buddy Walk® was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome
Society to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness and to promote acceptance
and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. Last year there were 295 RL
Buddy Walks. There’s also an SL Buddy Walk!
There is an Expo, March 17-30, to raise awareness. And on
World Down Syndrome Day, March 21, a live music festival. This
presentation will give additional information about this year’s event.
