$5,060Raised of $125,000
Welcome to the Atlanta Buddy Walk® 2025 Page!
We’re so glad you found your way here — because this is where the magic happens. This isn’t just about raising money (though yes, we definitely need that!) — it’s about building a community where people with Down syndrome are celebrated, supported, and seen.
Whether you’re walking, donating, starting a team, or just cheering us on — you’re part of something bigger. Every dollar you raise helps fund programs, resources, and advocacy efforts that directly support individuals with Down syndrome and their families right here in our community.
So let’s go big. Rally your crew. Share your page. Set a goal that scares you a little. And let’s show the world just how strong and unstoppable this community really is.
Let’s make some noise, raise some funds, and walk with purpose — together.
Supporting Buddy Walk
When you support the Buddy Walk®, you’re helping the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta make a real difference in the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families. The money raised doesn’t just stay on the sidelines—it goes straight into programs that build confidence, community, and opportunity. It helps send teens and young adults to Camp Brightside, funds creative classes like our Musical Theatre Summer Camps, and supports important partnerships with GiGi’s Playhouse and Jack’s Basket. It fuels parent education programs, fun social gatherings (including our yearly Holiday Party for over 700 people, completely FREE for our families), and critical outreach to doctors and hospitals. We also host a Holiday Giveaway for families who are struggling during the season, and our Keep the Lights On program offers emergency financial support for those facing tough times. Because of the Buddy Walk, DSAA can walk alongside families from day one, advocate for better futures, and celebrate every step of the journey. You’re not just donating—you’re helping Redefine what’s Possible!
