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.
