Eastwood Field
The Buddy Walk® was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The event has become the premier advocacy event for Down syndrome in the United States and the world's most widely recognized public awareness program for the Down syndrome community.
The annual Buddy Walk® of the Valley is DSAV’s main fundraiser and is the only nationally licensed walk in eastern Ohio and western Pensylvania. Each year, more than 2,000 people attend this symbolic walk that raises money via pledges, sponsors and entrance fees.
The Down Syndrome Association of the Valley's 16th Annual Buddy Walk is on September 17, 2023, at Eastwood FIeld in Niles. Individuals with Down syndrome are FREE but must still register to receive an event T-shirt, Buddy Medal and Buddy Bag.
Gates Open at 11:45am; 1/2 awareness walk begins at 1:00pm.
Enjoy family friendly activites, dancing, bounce houses, performances by Disney Princesses, local cheerleaders and dance teams.
BUDDY WALK LANE - Team Captains may register one (1) vehicle to drive into the gated area of Eastwood Field and set up "tailgate style" before the event begins. This will become a gathering point for teams to meet and celebrate with registered friends and families. We encourage teams to bring refreshments, folding tables, chairs or even a 10 x 10 tent!
