Description
The 12th Annual Buddy Walk of South Plainfield - Serving Central New Jersey will take place on Saturday, October 3, 2015. We are kindly requesting that you consider supporting this year's event. We appreciate those who made last year a great success in which we raised almost $40,000 and had nearly 600 people participate.
The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 not only to promote awareness and inclusion for people with Down syndrome but also to raise money for research and education programs. The program has expanded from just 17 walks the first year to more than 250 world-wide. Last year, over $13 million was raised worldwide for the Down syndrome community.
In 2015, we will be working once again with the Central NJ Down Syndrome Parent Advocacy Group, Network 21 and Shane and Wyatt's Down Syndrome Foundation. This year some of the proceeds will again go towards creating packets/gift baskets for new parents of children with Down syndrome.
