    8th annual Buddy Walk® on Saturday, October 2, 2010

    The Down Syndrome Association of Central Kentucky (DSACK) will host our 8th annual Buddy Walk on Saturday, October 2, 2010. The walk, which highlights National Down Syndrome Awareness Month each October, promotes acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The event also raises money to increase awareness and education for local families, caregivers, medical and educational professionals in the surrounding community.

    The money raised goes towards the following: scholarships for camps and conferences, immediate information and assistance to new families, assistance to families during times of crisis, expansion of our lending library, the cost of publishing and mailing our bimonthly newsletter to nearly 400 families and professionals, quarterly social events for individuals with Down syndrome and their families, monthly age-specific groups for children/adults and their families, and educational materials within the community. Funds are raised through corporation sponsorships, individual and team walkers, and through public or private donations.

    For more information about the walk, how to get involved or how to donate, contact the Buddy Walk Chairperson at (859) 983-3754 or email buddywalk@dsack.org

    We are pleased and excited to announce that this years Buddy Walk will move to The Thoroughbred Center!  With a conflict of the World Equestrian Games, and our desire to grow, The Thoroughbred Center is the PERFECT Location! While still offering a beautiful scenic setting, The thoroughbred Center eliminates the need to rent tents and tables, and offers us indoor seating, restrooms, staging, sound system and holding room to accommodate our exhibitors! We look forward to making this years walk even more amazing than last year! We look forward to seeing you all there!
