History of Buddy Walk®
The Buddy Walk® was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down syndrome Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome. It was grown from 17 events in 1995 to 250 events in 2017 across the county and around the world.
