Description

Best Buddies Champion of the Year is a competitive fundraising campaign that unites and recognizes the communities most active leaders of inclusion. Ten local Champion Candidates commit to raising funds and awareness for Best Buddies over an 8-12 week campaign. Our Champions are advocates for the Best Buddies mission and will generate countless opportunities for friendships, jobs, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). At the campaign’s conclusion, we will celebrate at the Best Buddies Champion of the Year Gala to honor the Champions’ collective impact and name the ultimate Champion of the Year!

This year, our Gala will be held on Thursday, November 3rd from 6:00 - 10:00 pm at Brown's Revolution Hall in Troy, NY.
