Aim Higher at the 27th annual Capital Region Buddy Walk!

September 24, 2023

Join us in promoting inclusion and awareness for the achievements of individuals with Down syndrome as we celebrate the Capital Region Buddy Walk's 27th Anniversary!

The Buddy Walk is a short 1-mile stroll around the pond in Schenectady’s Central Park. Along with the walk, the day is filled with resource information, entertainment, music, games, crafts, and snacks and drinks.

Your donations make a difference.

Funds raised at the Buddy Walk have a direct impact on individuals with Down syndrome and their families in our communities in any stage of life. Here are just a few highlights of the accomplishments of the Down Syndrome Aim High Resource Center from the past year:
