2020
In 2020, Best Buddies launches BESTBUDDIES® Ventures – an initiative that spreads the organization’s mission, builds inclusive workplaces for people with IDD, and generates revenue, by creating co-branded businesses with respected companies in the community. BESTBUDDIES® X Rosetta Bakery is the first venture launched in June 2020 as an equal partnership that creates employment opportunities for individuals with IDD, and serves as a profit-center for Best Buddies through a store-front bakery and coffee shop.
