Best Buddies Friendship Walk set for June 5

CONCORD - Best Buddies International announced earlier this week the Best Buddies Friendship Walk will take place on June 5 at the State House in Concord.

"The unprecedented challenges we faced together in 2020 has highlighted just how important our mission of inclusion is for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities - they need us now, more than ever," said Anthony K. Shriver, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Best Buddies International. "This year we look forward to seeing our communities across the nation unite to celebrate inclusion and raise the critical funds needed to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities."

Among those expected to attend this year are Gov. Chris Sununu and Miss New Hampshire.

Best Buddies in Concord is proud to include hybrid opportunities at our physical walk that will allow participants to lace up their shoes to walk for inclusion wherever the participants feel comfortable, all working to surpass 2021's fundraising goal of $88,000. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the Walk commences at 12:30 p.m. on the State House Grounds. Following the Walk, please join Best Buddies for a day of fun, family, wellness and friendship.

Proceeds from the Friendship Walk are fundamental in supporting state programs that provide one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development and inclusive living. These programs can be found in all 50 states and will create promising opportunities for more than 350,000 people this year.
