The Buddy Walkr was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 300 walks planned for 2011 worldwide. In 2010, more than $11.2 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy and public awareness initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Proceeds from the Tarrant County Buddy Walk benefit the Down Syndrome Partnership of Tarrant County (DSPTC) with a portion of the proceeds going to Green Oaks School. See more information about these worthy programs at www.dsptc.org and www.greenoaksschool.org.
