Additional Information

The Down Syndrome Association of Acadiana is presenting their 10th annual Buddy Walk set for Saturday, October 25th at Parc International starting at 9:45am. The Buddy Walk in Lafayette is one of 300 Buddy Walks planned in cities across the country this fall. It was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society to promote acceptance and inclusion of all people with Down syndrome. Participants include individuals with Down syndrome from the Acadiana area and their families, friends, teachers, coworkers and other supporters. There will also be entertainment by La Recolte Cajun Band. Last year the organization raised over $10.5 million to benefit national education, research and advocacy initiatives as well as local programs and services. They hope to do the same this year. All funds raised through the Buddy Walk support both local and national programs. For more information, contact DSAA at 337-234-3109 or visit www.dsaa.info.
