Boston, May 22, 2019 – Best Buddies International, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for friendship, employment, leadership development and inclusive living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), is pleased to announce that the 20th Annual Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port , presented by Pepsi-Cola and Shaw’s and Star Market Foundation, will take place May 31 – June 1st. More than 2,000 people are expected to participate in the Challenge – a charity ride, run, and walk to benefit Best Buddies International.
Best Buddies International prides itself on a culture of inclusion, equality, empowerment, and respect.
Some moments stay with you long after the lights and the applause. Sounds of Change, the Best Buddies Philippines benefit concert held at Hard Rock Café, is one of those moments, an evening filled with joy, courage, and community—an event that turned into a catalyst. For many families, including mine, it was a reminder that inclusion isn’t an abstract concept. It’s a living, breathing force that transforms children, reshapes families, and slowly changes society.
