This year’s BuddyWalk® at Sea will take place during the 2016 Buddy Cruise® on board the Oasis of the Seas. The purpose of this walk is to raise awareness and promote acceptance of individuals with Down syndrome. Our walk is comprised of individuals of ALL ages and abilities! JOIN US!
The Buddy Walk® was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk® has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 300 Walks planned for 2016 worldwide. In 2015, nearly $13 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy and public awareness initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome. In 2015, over 250 Buddy Walk® events were held across the country and around the world. More than 315,000 people participated in the Buddy Walk®, collectively raising nearly $13,000,000.
