29th Annual Capital Region Buddy Walk

 

Join us in promoting inclusion and awareness for the achievements of individuals with Down syndrome as we celebrate our Buddy Walk's 29th Anniversary on 9/28/2025. 

The Capital Region’s Buddy Walk is a short 1-mile stroll around the pond in Schenectady’s Central Park. Along with the walk, the day is filled with resource information, entertainment, music, games, crafts, and snacks.
