Fun Coast Down Syndrome Association is having the 21st Annual BUDDY WALK. This annual event is our only fundraiser. Our funds assist individuals with Down Syndrome with activities (arts/crafts, sports/physical activities, dance classes to increase their self-esteem & involvement in community events, as well as our annual local prom). It also provides parents with a safe place for their sons/daughters to nurture & grow their community presence & civil duty. Many of our parents are elderly, as their children are adults, still in need of direction. Teenagers & young adults volunteering are an essential need. We hope a good experience volunteering w/ developmentally disabled individuals will encourage volunteers to consider professions as teachers, therapists, or caregivers.
