Bodhi’s Mates is heading back to New York!
We are incredibly honored that Bodhi has been selected for the second time to be featured in the 2026 NDSS Times Square Video Presentation. After the unforgettable experience in 2024, we’re excited to return to New York to celebrate with thousands of families at the 2026 NYC Buddy Walk® on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
Bodhi’s Mates was created to celebrate inclusion and build friendships. This journey isn’t just about our family, it’s about supporting the entire Down syndrome community and helping create a world where individuals with Down syndrome are seen, included, and given every opportunity to thrive.
We’d love for you to be part of this special milestone. Whether you join Team Bodhi’s Mates in New York or support us with a donation, every contribution helps the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) continue its important work in advocacy, education, awareness, and inclusion.
Thank you for believing in Bodhi, cheering him on, and walking alongside our family. 💙💛🤟
