2013 Buddy W
alk Pledge
The Buddy Walk® was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 300 walks planned for 2013 worldwide. In 2012, almost $12 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy and public awareness initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Through education, research, and advocacy, the Down Syndrome Awareness Group of East Tennessee (DSAG) works to ensure that people with Down syndrome have the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Incorporated in 1991, DSAG is a parent-led organization that serves an 18-county area. The groups provides information and support to families, professionals, and the community in order to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Down syndrome. DSAG of East Tennessee is an affiliate of the National Down Syndrome Society.
