Join us as a Virtual Walker to raise funds and awareness for Best Buddies.

Best Buddies North Carolina is so excited to announce our first class of Champion of the Year candidates! Through 10 weeks of raising funds and awareness for Best Buddies, our Champions will generate countless opportunities for friendships, jobs, and leadership development for people with IDD.

Sami and Willie are both sixth graders and were matched in October 2018. This was the first year of Best Buddies at Jay M Robinson Middle School. Their friendship strengthened quickly as the two spent a lot of time together at recess, Special Olympics events and during electives.

Sept. 21 – Dec. 6

Best Buddies North Carolina is gearing up for an AWESOME fall season and we would love to have you come out to spend time with us!!
