March is Best Buddies Month, the annual celebration of Best Buddies International’s efforts to create one-to-one friendship, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This year is also the 35th anniversary of Best Buddies and the 30th anniversary of the Best Buddies Jobs Program.

For people with disabilities, going to a prom is not a guarantee, which is where the Friendship Ball comes in.

Inclusion is important, so everyone feels important ... and nobody gets left out.
