This year's Friendship Walk season is starting off with a bang! The UC Davis Aggies team has already recruited 37 members and raised nearly $1,000 of our $2,500 goal. Let's keep this momentum going! You do not have to be a member of our chapter to participate; Sacramento area community members are highly encouraged to join! You can sign up, join our team, and donate using this link: https://www.bestbuddiesfriendshipwalk.org/sacramento/supporting/

This year's walk will be held on April 27th from 9 AM-12 PM at North Natomas Regional Park.

The Friendship Walk is the largest walk in the country supporting inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDD. The event is a blast -- last year we had an ice cream truck, face painting, dancing, therapy puppies, and more! . The goal of the Friendship Walk is to grow awareness of our mission, raise vital funding for our programs, and celebrate inclusion! The walk is free to attend, but donations will help support our friendship, jobs, leadership, and living programs. Take a look at the photo below to see the impact of last year's Friendship Walk on chapters in the Sacramento area!

Mark your calendars for our first event of the 2023-2024 school year! RSVP here: linktr.ee/ucdbestbuddies.

A few updates:

First of all, Best Buddies at UCD wants to acknowledge the recent tragic events in our city. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims and all those affected by these incidents. We celebrate the lives and legacies of David Breaux and Karim Abou Najim and wish a speedy recovery to the third victim. Please be vigilant and stay safe out there.

Currently, we are still planning to hold our open mic/talent show on May 20th. More details to come.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who supported our Friendship Walk team. Together we raised over $48,000 ($3,000 over our goal!) to support Best Buddies' inclusive friendship, leadership, and employment programs in Sacramento. UC Davis alone raised nearly $3,000, making us the top school chapter this year. We hope to see more of you at the walk in 2024!
