DSRG of Western Mass Buddy Walk®

The DSRG Buddy Walk® gives our community, family, friends and business sponsors an opportunity to come together to celebrate our loved ones with Down syndrome and raise funds for the programming which supports them. Our offerings include: a First Call program for newborns, playgroups for toddlers and school aged children, social groups for teens and adults,scholarships, educational presentations and more. All of these programs directly better the lives of people living with Down syndrome in our community.

NDSS National Buddy Walk® Program

The Buddy Walk® is an advocacy initiative launched in 1995 by The National Down Syndrome Society. It serves as a vehicle to generate significant awareness and understanding of Down syndrome nationally, while simultaneously raising critical funds to support local programs and services offered by The DSRG. As a proud affiliate of The NDSS, a portion of all proceeds from DSRG Buddy Walk® goes to the NDSS to support national advocacy initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life of individuals with Down syndrome.
