MIAMI (WSVN) – It was a night of celebration in Miami for the non-profit organization Best Buddies.
Best Buddies International held its 24th annual gala celebrating the organization’s mission and honoring the dedication of supporters and volunteers.
Chris Lindstrom, offensive lineman for the Atlanta Falcons, and Michael Kozicki, Best Buddies Global Ambassador, tag-teamed a room recruiting supporters for Best Buddies!
Featured on WRAL, this Best Buddies High School chapter integrates all participants with the community, through service events and fundraisers.
“I want to prove to everyone that you don’t have to let your disability define you if you want to do something great in life.”
Best Buddies Living provides inclusive, independent housing opportunities for people with and without IDD where they can learn, grow and thrive.
This Saturday, Dec. 2, Best Buddies Founder, Board Member and CEO Anthony K. Shriver will be featured alongside Best Buddies participants from the Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port at 10/9c on the A&E show "Cake Dynasty."
Best Buddies International asks its participants to support its mission by walking at their local Best Buddies Friendship Walk. Best Buddies in New York participants, however, decided to up the ante by running instead of walking. And this was not just any run: Team Best Buddies ran 26.2 miles in the famed New York City Marathon.
