Community Link Buddy Walk

Join Community Link as we celebrate all of the Kings and Queens in our life with Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities. Our 20th Annual Buddy Walk is at Northside Park in Breese, Il on September 19, 2026. Whether you have Down syndrome, know someone who does, or want to show your support of any person with developmental disabilities, take the first step and donate or register today. 97.5% of money raised stays in our community. The National Down Syndrome Society receives 2.5% for advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome. Help us spread the word! All are welcome for our day of celebration.

Walk With Us

We will once again kick off our celebration with karoke performances by our participants beginning at 10 am. Following the ceremoney, we will begin our walk with royalty for the 1- mile fun walk through the streets of Breese at 11 am. After the walk, we will enjoy some enchanted time together with family and friends, while our royal family delights the crowd with a fashion show. Many activities, food trucks and more will be avaiable all day. Come join the fun!
