NCDSA Buddy Walk

The NCDSA operates independently, without government funding or financial support from national organizations. Everything we do is made possible by the generosity of our community and the success of events like the NCDSA Buddy Walk.

Your support goes far beyond a single day — it fuels vital programs, strengthens advocacy efforts, and provides meaningful resources and education to individuals with Down syndrome and their families across North Carolina. Every partnership helps us meet real needs and create lasting impact.

• Welcomed new babies and connected families with trained parent mentors, offering guidance and support from day one

• Introduced World Down Syndrome Day classroom kits to promote awareness, inclusion, and understanding in schools

• Hosted an inclusive summer camp where participants explored dance, art, science, and astronomy in a safe, engaging environment

• Achieved accreditation, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and trusted support

These milestones are only possible because of sponsors who believe in creating a more inclusive and empowered future. Your partnership truly makes this work possible.
