Best Buddies International, a nonprofit organization, organized the walk to create opportunities and provide support for those with disabilities. The event featured games, music, obstacle courses, arts and crafts, and a focus on friendship.

“This walk was a blast. So I’m actually so grateful to have friends over for the walk. And it’s been awesome so far,” Karsing said.

“It’s always amazing to know that you have a best friend because sometimes making friends can be really hard, so it’s great that with this best buddies program, you will always have a friend,” Diana said.

Proceeds from the event will support local programs that provide one-to-one friendships, pre-employment training, and advocacy.
