Welcome, to the 6th
Annual Buddy Walk of South Plainfield-Serving Central New Jersey.
We want to make October 3rd, 2009 a fun and exciting day.
The Buddy Walk
of South Plainfield is now a Tax Exempt 501c(3).
So checks will be made out to: Buddy Walk of South Plainfield.
Let me give you some background on what a "Buddy Walk" is exactly.
The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome
Society in 1995 to promote acceptance and awareness of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk is a one-mile advocacy
walk in which anyone can participate and bring a special Buddy. When the walk started in 1995 there were 17 walks but
as of today there are more than 260 walks across the country and around the world. In 2007 the Buddy Walks raised
over $9.5 million to benefit national education, research and advocacy initiatives, as well as local programs and services.
Thank you for your help!
