Have your family members join you or organize a group from your workplace, school or community and support people with Down syndrome while building team spirit. Teams consist of at least 10 individuals who collectively raise pledges in the name of their team or Buddy. Create a Team Name (i.e., Brian’s Buddies or Sara’s Super Walkers). Design and wear your own unique t-shirt or design signs and banners with your team name for the day of the walk.
