REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR THE KEARNEY BUDDY WALK!
We are excited to be partnering with the NDSS to bring the Buddy Walk® to Kearney NE.
What is a Buddy Walk?
The Buddy Walk® provides a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness and engage participants in advocacy efforts. It is also our largest fundraiser for Down Syndrome Advocates in Action Kearney. Please join us on June 15th at Yanney Park in Kearney (more details will be posted soon).
What are some ways to fundraise?
We encourage teams to fundraise leading up to the event. You can ask your company or a company you frequent to sponsor the event. Any corporate sponsor dollars that you raise will be credited to your team. You can host a 3rd Party fundraiser, which can include anything from a restaurant give-back night to a mini-festival to a dinner party...the possibilities are endless! We truly appreciate your fundraising efforts, and we are here to help! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
What does the money raised help support?
As the largest DSAA fundraising events of the year, the Buddy Walks provides the resources needed for DSAA to fulfill its mission throughout the year. With your help, we can continue to provide support, resources, outreach, and programming to individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community. The Buddy Walk funds our Medical Outreach program, Extended Hospital Stay Bags, Scholarships to learning opportunities, IEP support for families, networking events, events with community partners like Husker Heroes and the ARC of Nebraska Senatorial Dinner, and other activities with local ARC organizations.
Where can I get a Buddy Walk T-Shirt
When your t-shirt is ready you will be notified and can pick it up from the printer. You must order your shirt by the t-shirt deadline on June 5th to guarantee a Buddy Walk t-shirt.
All shirts not picked up prior to the walk will be available the day of the walk at the registration tables
What can I expect at the Buddy Walk?
The Buddy Walk is a special day for everyone! In Kearney we will be walking around the lake. It is your day, so walk your way! You can hop on the walk route wherever you’d like.
