Down Syndrome Buddy Walks take place around the country to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. Last year, 285,000 people participated, raising more than $11.2 million to benefit local programs and services as well as the national advocacy initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome. This year, we invite you to be a part of “Team Signing Time” for this fun, 1-mile walk to celebrate the many abilities and accomplishments of people with Down syndrome.
