Buddy Walk of Buffalo Niagara (How we started...)
The Buddy Walk of Buffalo Niagara was formed in 1997 as the Buddy Walk
of Niagara and Affiliate Organization of the National Down Syndrome Society of
New York, New York. We assumed our new name Buddy Walk
Buffalo-Niagara to include our neighboring families from Erie County. We
formed as a small group of 3 parents to help raise positive awareness about
the abilities of people born with Down Syndrome and to help maximize
opportunities in the community to include them in all aspects of community
living. Today we represent over 500 families and friends in WNY! We continue in
our mission to support national efforts and local community needs for
education, research, and advocacy.
