2024 Buddy Walk to take place this weekend in Evans
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The 2024 Augusta Buddy Walk is happening Saturday morning at Evans Towne Center Park.
It’s put on by the Upside of Downs. The annual walk is to promote support, understanding and inclusion of those with Down syndrome.
The walk is the organization’s main fundraiser each year and has a bounce house, food and vendors, balloon animals and more.
“It’s a huge day of fun and fundraising, but mostly it is a day to celebrate our loved ones, our family members and our community. We invite everyone in the CSRA to come out and show that support with us,” said Stevie Rodriguez, vice president of Upside of Downs.
Rodriguez adds that this fundraising helps to make sure any activities they put on for the families they care for are at no cost to those families.
The walk is on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
