Welcome to the 22nd Annual Bay Buddy Walk®
This special event celebrates individuals with Down syndrome and the vibrant community that surrounds them. Hosted by the Silicon Valley Down Syndrome Network (SVDSN), the Bay Buddy Walk brings together families, friends, and advocates to promote inclusion, raise awareness, and fund programs that empower people with Down syndrome throughout the Bay Area. Whether you walk, donate, or cheer us on, your support helps build a more connected, informed, and inclusive community—for all of us.
Why We Walk - This year marks our 22nd annual Bay Buddy Walk. The Bay Buddy Walk brings our community together to celebrate, raise awareness, and supports SVDSN programs. Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. Help fund local programs, build connections, and spread the love and understanding our community deserves.
