Buddy Walk - October 23, 2010

The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to bring together a wide range of concerned individuals to reach out to friends, family, and co-workers to promote awareness and inclusion for people with Down Syndrome and to raise funds for local and national education, research, and advocacy programs. This is the Fifth Annual Buddy Walk Festival for the Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society.

Where:
Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah, Georgia

When:
During the month of October, National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, more than 300 Buddy Walks will occur, throughout the United States.
