Buddy Walk

The 28th Annual Pittsburgh Buddy Walk is our community's annual "Family Reunion" and we are excited to celebrate in-person at Schenley Plaza (4100 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15260) on Sunday October 23, 2022 from 11am-4pm!

As our largest fundraiser of the year, the Pittsburgh Buddy Walk provides about 75% of the needed resources for the Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh (DSAP) to fulfill its mission. Each and every day we strive to enrich the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and to support their families with our ongoing programming and free resources. Serving the Greater Pittsburgh Region and Western PA, DSAP supports hundreds of families with individuals who are living with Down syndrome across ALL ages & stages. We are there for the celebrations, the milestones, the tough days and the great ones...providing the tools, techniques, and programs our members need to reach their full potential right here in Western PA! In 2019, we raised $214,000 and in 2020, we raised $143,000. In 2021, we raised just over $215,000! There is no better way to advocate for and celebrate individuals with Down syndrome than participating in our 28th Annual Pittsburgh Buddy Walk!
