2026 Down Syndrome Family Connection Buddy Walk

The 19th annual Buddy Walk® in Bloomington is more than a walk, it's a family reunion. Whether you have Down syndrome, know someone who does or just want to show your support – we invite you to join us for a great event as we unite for a common cause and raise funds to support Down Syndrome Family Connection.

Since 1995, the Buddy Walk® has been the premier advocacy event for Down syndrome in the United States. It is also the world’s most widely recognized public awareness program for the Down syndrome community. The Buddy Walk® attracts thousands of participants from coast to coast each year.
