Manasota BUDS is going VIRTUAL for our 2020 Buddy Walk!

On October 17, 2020 during Down Syndrome Awareness Month , we hope you will join us for the 19th Annual Manasota BUDS Virtual Buddy Walk .

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of our participants is our #1 concern, so this year, you will be able to walk in the comfort and safety of your own community .

 

As we put the finishing touches on our Virtual Buddy Walk registration and fundraising website, please save the date and forward the information to all of your friends, family and coworkers. Additionally, we have updated our sponsorship information and would really appreciate if you would provide the information to your employer, corporate relationships and local businesses to help us gain sponsors. Team captains or families who bring in a sponsor by September 15th will receive 4 free virtual Buddy Walk registrations!

 

The best thing about a Virtual Buddy Walk is that everyone from all over the country, and even around the world, can walk, raise awareness and fundraise for Manasota BUDS!

 

In the upcoming days and weeks, we will send out more information on registration and provide our virtual participants with specific #hashtags to promote and update your social media followers on how you're supporting the Manasota BUDS Virtual Buddy Walk in 2020.

 

Manasota BUDS needs your help this year more than ever before to help us raise awareness and funds that will keep our programs, scholarships and events going through 2021. We know 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, and we appreciate your continued support!
