Join us for the 2022 San Diego Buddy Walk® on Sunday, October 23, 2022!
The Buddy Walk® was founded in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society as the premier advocacy event for Down syndrome in the United States. It's also the world’s most widely recognized public awareness program for the Down syndrome community. The Buddy Walk® attracts thousands of participants in cities from coast to coast each year.
Locally, the Buddy Walk is held by the Down Syndrome Association of San Diego (DSA). This year's theme is Country and Western, so don your denim, cowboy boots and hat — or design your own t-shirt — and come on down! We're back in the saddle again and ready to celebrate.
