Best Buddies State Showdown – A Matched Rivalry in Giving

Across the country, Best Buddies participants, supporters, and advocates will share heartfelt stories about the power of belonging — stories that remind us why connection matters and why our mission is so important.
We hope their voices will inspire you to join our 3rd annual Best Buddies State Showdown and help create more opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in your home state.
Best Buddies’ Founder, Chairman and CEO Anthony K. Shriver kicks off this effort with a special message about why belonging matters now more than ever and how each of us can make a meaningful impact this season.
We have an exciting match announcement to share this holiday season! From #GivingTuesday through December 31, belonging is powerful and right now, your gift can be too. Throughout the State Showdown, thanks to our generous friends at Jersey Mike’s, every donation will be double-matched 2:1, up to $1.32M. Together, we can create friendship, inclusion, and opportunity in every state.
