DSI Buddy Walk® 2012
Why Walk?
The Buddy Walk® was established by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October.
The Buddy Walk® has three primary goals:
- To promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome.
- To raise funds locally and nationally for education, research and advocacy programs.
- To enhance the position of the Down syndrome community, enabling us to positively influence local and national policy and practice.
Buddy Walk®
The Buddy Walk® is a 2.6 mile no-fee walk along the canal beginning at Celebration Plaza in White River State Park. Proceeds from the walk help fund Down Syndrome Indiana programs and services that help individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
Down Syndrome Indiana offers a number of programs and services. Here are just a few of our highlights:
- New Parent Information & Resource Packets
- Support for research and advocacy
- Financial assistance for youth who attend Camp Hi-Lite
- Informational and Educational Conferences
- Parent Support Groups
- Mom’s Night Out events
