Event Description

We are going VIRTUAL! Whether you walk around your block, on a treadmill or take a casual stroll around the zoo... join us from anywhere to support Down Syndrome Awareness.

Our event will run for one week from Sunday, October 18th through Saturday, October 24th to give everyone enough time to participate, even if you have a hectic family schedule. Once you are registered and we get closer to the starting day of the Virtual Buddy Walk, we will email you with our fun virtual challenges for you and the whole family to join in with.

If you are unable to join us for the walk, but would like to support our event, we will have a virtual basket raffle with lots of items and tickets are only $1 each. This year we also have a "Buddy Walk Store" where you can buy your Buddy Walk T-shirts,  as well as other Down syndrome related items.  Finally, donations are always appreciated.

This year we are proud to feature JOHN'S CRAZY SOCKS! Use the charity code FG-EBW20 and you receive a FREE GIFT from John and 10% of your purchase will go to The Arc of Erie County. Check out his website at https://johnscrazysocks.com. (Offer good until October 31, 2020. Does not apply to sock of the month. Charity code must be entered where it says “Charity Code”, do not enter in the “Discount Code” box.)

We wish it could be in person, but rather than cancel or postpone, this is a great way to still come together and support Down Syndrome Awareness!
Please be sure to follow your local COVID-19 guidelines. See you soon!
