Back to where the Buddy Walk Began in 2001
2025 marks the 25th year for our largest advocacy event of the year. This milestone is a great opportunity to highlight how NEO sponsors are making a difference in the lives of +1,100 individuals with Down syndrome, their families and their community.
The Buddy Walk was created by the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October. Since 1995 the walk has grown to over 275 walks, been attended by over 330,000 walkers and raised over $14.4 million towards national advocacy.
DSANEO envisions a community where people with Down syndrome have limitless opportunities and the ability to pursue their dreams. We need your partnership to meet the growing needs of DSANEO. We currently serve over 1,100 families in NE Ohio, imagine what more we can do with your support. Join us either in-person or virtually, wherever you are to celebrate and honor individuals with Down syndrome.
Do you have another idea of how to sponsor? Please contact me at leslieb@dsaneo.org to discuss. We could not do what we do without sponsors like you.
