We hope you'll join us July 31, 2016 for our 6th Annual Buddy Walk by the Sea to raise funds and awareness to promote the acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome throughout southeastern Massachusetts, including the Cape and Islands.

Registration includes walk festivities, event t-shirt, and light refreshments. Please note: t-shirts are only guaranteed to people who pre-register.

The Buddy Walk by the Sea is a morning celebration on beautiful Cape Cod that includes a light breakfast, children's activities, a one-mile pledge walk, family entertainment, networking opportunities with local disability organizations, and a chance to talk to MDSC Self-Advocate Ambassadors. All proceeds benefit vital programs and services the MDSC offers including Parents First Call, Advocates in Motion (AIM), Educators Forum, Annual Conference, and Legislative Advocacy.
