Welcome to the SVDSN 21st Annual 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 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 21st annual SVDSN Buddy Walk—how perfect is that? Just like the extra 21st chromosome that makes our loved ones with Down syndrome so extraordinary, this event is something truly special. The SVDSN Buddy Walk brings our community together to celebrate, raise awareness, and support our 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.
