Two smiling women, one wearing a black "Taylor Swift" hoodie and the other in a blue "Best Buddies" jacket, sit closely together holding hands under a colorful banner that reads "Better Together." They are posing in front of a white wall, symbolizing friendship and inclusion. The text overlay at the bottom says "Best Buddies For Life" with the ANF logo.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – There are simple things we need to live full lives. One of them is friendship.
