Meet Nicholas Malone, our top Friendship Walk fundraiser of the year so far with an incredible $4,127 raised in support of Best Buddies! Nicholas has consistently gone above and beyond for our mission. He was also the top fundraiser in both 2024 and 2025, raising more than $5,000 each year. His dedication, passion, and commitment to inclusion continue to inspire everyone in our community!!

Nicholas is a proud member of the Peeps with a Purpose Friendship Walk team and an active participant in our Bank of America chapter. Since getting involved in 2023, he has attended nearly every event, always showing up with enthusiasm, positivity, and a willingness to make a difference. Whether he’s cheering on his fellow buddies or encouraging others to get involved, Nicholas embodies what it means to be a Best Buddies member!

One of the many ways Nicholas has supported Best Buddies is by hosting a comedy show to raise funds and awareness. His creativity and sense of humor bring people together for a great cause, proving that inclusion can be both meaningful and fun.

While his fundraising achievements are impressive, what Nicholas is most known for is his incredible friendship with his buddy, Jeff. Their relationship truly represents the heart of Best Buddies!

“Nothing but love for all my Buddies and Peeps with a Purpose. It’s just my favorite thing in the world.”

To continue celebrating Nicholas and his incredible impact, be sure to mark your calendars for our Friendship Walk on April 25th at 10:00 AM at Frawley Stadium! The Friendship Walk is one of our biggest events of the year, uniting families, schools, and supporters from across Delaware to celebrate inclusion and community. It’s also an amazing opportunity to continue the momentum Nicholas has helped build through his fundraising efforts. We can’t wait to see everyone — especially Nicholas and Jeff — walking together and showing what true friendship is all about!
