27th Annual Greater Charlotte Buddy Walk

Welcome to the 27th Annual Greater Charlotte Buddy Walk held on October 19, 2024 at the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers Ballpark.

Since 1995, the Buddy Walk® has been the premier advocacy event for Down syndrome in the United States. It is also the world’s most widely recognized public awareness program for the Down syndrome community. The Buddy Walk® attracts thousands of participants from coast to coast each year.

A day of inspiration and celebration, the walk brings together the Down syndrome community all while raising funds to support the mission of Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte. DSA of Greater Charlotte is a one-stop-shop for information and resources on Down syndrome. The programs it offers are intended to promote the inclusion of individuals with Down syndrome in their greater community, as well as to offer support and information to families, caregivers, educators, employers and the professionals who serve individuals with Down syndrome.
