Since 2013, Best Buddies in Memphis has worked tirelessly to expand the outreach of our school friendship programs throughout the Mid-South. What began with a handful of participating schools has expanded to over 100 school chapters influencing over 4,500 members and 848 buddy pairs across Tennessee.
Jamie Taylor and Kyle Anderson were officially matched as a buddy pair through the Best Buddies School Friendship Program at Bartlett High School. This dynamic duo serves as a heartfelt reminder to everyone they meet of the power of friendship and its ability to change lives.
We are looking for volunteers to fill some important roles for the event! This year we are celebrating the best kind of ship ~ Friendship! Featuring a gourmet dinner, silent and live auction, live band, gaming and much more…
