Since being matched in 2023, Sharees’e and Jo have formed a truly special friendship through Best Buddies. Over the past three years, the two have become inseparable, creating countless memories together and showing everyone around them what a meaningful buddy match looks like!

From exciting arcade trips to attending the Longwood event together, Sharees’e and Jo are always having fun and making the most of every opportunity to spend time together. They especially enjoy participating in the Bank of America group lunches, where they love catching up, sharing laughs, and connecting with friends in the chapter. One of their favorite activities is shopping at the mall together, and they always look forward to the chapter’s annual mall event each December. Whether they are browsing stores, grabbing snacks, or simply enjoying each other’s company, the pair always brings joy and positivity wherever they go!

Their friendship extends beyond activities and events. They consistently support and encourage one another, making every gathering brighter with their enthusiasm and kindness. Their bond has grown stronger with each passing year, and it is clear to everyone who knows them that they share a genuine connection built on trust, friendship, and mutual respect. Together, they demonstrate the importance of inclusion and the lasting impact that meaningful relationships can have on our lives.

“They are such a great match and truly love being together. They always have the best time together.” – Danielle Williams

Their friendship is filled with fun, laughter, and genuine connection, making them a wonderful example of what Best Buddies is all about.

We are also especially proud of Sharees’e for recently stepping in front of more than 350 people to sing the National Anthem at our annual Best Buddies Walk. Her confidence, talent, and courage made the moment unforgettable and inspired everyone in attendance.

Sharees’e and Jo’s friendship continues to grow stronger each year, and we are so grateful to celebrate the joy, support, and happiness they bring to our Best Buddies community. They truly embody the spirit of friendship, inclusion, and acceptance that makes Best Buddies so special, and we look forward to seeing all the memories they will continue to create together in the years ahead.
