2025 Chattanooga Buddy Walk

The 2025 Chattanooga Buddy Walk event will be held at the First Horizon Pavilion on November 15. Come join us for an afternoon filled with food, music, face painting, bounce houses, and of course... the Buddy Strut! During the Strut, individuals with Down syndrome will be honored and highlighted individually for the unique and incredible person they are. If desired, a friend or family member will escort the individual down a short runway, while families gather in a tailgate-style celebration to fellowship, have fun, and raise awareness. It is truly the afternoon highlight and the most unique aspect of the Chattanooga Buddy Walk! All funds raised go towards helping this incredible community of families through grants, scholarships, networking events, educational seminars, and more.
