Welcome to our Buddy Walk Team Page!

We're raising money for the Down Syndrome Awareness Group!

We're excited to come together to participate in the 2025 Baton Rouge Buddy Walk benefitting local individuals with Down syndrome and their families!

This cause is one close to our hearts as we support not only our own loved one with Down syndrome, but also the more than 400,000 other individuals with Down syndrome across the United States. Our collective passion for this cause drives us, and we need your support to make a difference! Every donation—big or small—helps us reach our fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

  • Donate: Contribute whatever you can. Every dollar counts! Your generous, tax-deductible gift will go to local initiatives such as job opportunities, summer camps, swim lessons, new parent welcome baskets, scholarships, and more! To learn more, visit DSAGBR.org.
  • Spread the Word: Share our fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Help us spread public awareness to improve the quality of life of those with Down syndrome in the Capital Area!
  • Join Our Team: Whether you have a loved one with Down syndrome or just want to show your support, everyone is welcome at the Baton Rouge Buddy Walk. From train rides and “sweet treat” vendors to character meet-and-greets and jump houses, the Baton Rouge Buddy Walk is a fun, family-friendly celebration like no other!

Thank you so much for your support as we show everyone our loved ones with Down syndrome are more alike, than different. Whether in person or in spirit, we cannot wait to celebrate with you on March 22nd!
