NDSS NYC Buddy Walk

The annual National Down Syndrome Society Buddy NYC Walk took place on the Great Hill in Central Park, NYC. I discovered this organization by browsing volunteer opportunities online and I'm so glad I did! I assisted the organization staff with volunteer check in and t-shirt distribution before heading to the registration tent. I worked with a team of three other volunteers to register participants who didn't complete it prior to the event day. It was an inspiring non-stop hour and a half of registering families and friends to participate in the mile-long walk around the park.

By the end of the day, NDSS raised more than $125,000 to support their mission to benefit local programs, direct services and national advocacy initiatives for all people with Down Syndrome and I was proud to be a part of that team!
