The event features family-friendly activities like inflatables, music, games, face painting, sponsor booths, and more for kids and adults alike. The event also includes an awareness walk that celebrates the abilities and accomplishments of all individuals with Down syndrome.

Participants are encouraged to form teams consisting of family members, friends, and other community supporters leading up the Buddy Walk. Registration and additional donations assist in raising funds that support vital programs for people with Down syndrome and their families across North Texas.

About the Buddy Walk:
The national Buddy Walk program was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down syndrome awareness. Today, the Buddy Walk is hosted by local Down syndrome associations in more than 250 cities across the world. These worldwide celebrations collectively raise over $14 million for local Down syndrome programs, outreach, and support.

The Dallas Buddy Walk is the signature fundraising and awareness event for the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas bringing together more than 5,000 individuals with Down syndrome, their family members, and community supporters annually.

Proceeds from the Dallas Buddy Walk benefit the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas in helping provide information, resources, and support to more than 2,500 people with Down syndrome and their families across 13 counties in North Texas.
