Buddy Walk 2012

The Buddy Walk is the annual fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Texas (www.dsact.com). DSACT is a non-profit that provides free programs and resources to individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community that interacts with them. The mission of the organization is to encourage every individual with Down syndrome to meet their full potential, and this occurs through the setting the proper expectations. DSACT is the most robust organization in Central Texas serving the Down syndrome community. The Buddy Walk is a wonderful event because it is a chance for the community to come together and celebrate the work that DSACT does. The support that this community has for one another is a site to see. We expect to have at least 3000 people attend the 1 Mile Buddy Walk, and it is a great event that many people and businesses like to support. The Buddy Walk event is scheduled for October 21, 2012 from 12pm to 4pm at Reunion Ranch in Georgetown.
