The EHS Chapter of Best Buddies would like to invite you to join us and / or support us for the annual Best Buddies Friendship Walk! Best Buddies is an international organization focused on fostering friendship and natural supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This is done through school chapters, vocational pairing and community living assistance.
Our EHS Best Buddies chapter is in its 3rd year and we are doing great things! That being said, the Friendship Walk is Best Buddies biggest fundraising event and we would love for you to join us, or support! How?
1) Register for the event, which will be held on Saturday, April 12th at Marcum Park in Hamilton. Even if you are unable to attend, registering creates a fundraising page that can easily be shared out on social media, which automatically can help! All funds are handled online, so it is effortless! To register and join our EHS team, visit https://www.bestbuddiesfriendshipwalk.org/cincinnati/supporting/#EHS
2) Attend, if you are able! We would love for our Edgewood team to have more participants than any other SW Ohio school chapter! (We are actually in a contest right now against other school chapters - so please register!) The walk itself is free and includes food, activities and music. It is a fun family friendly event!
3) Do you have a business or employer that may be interested in sponsorship?
Attached is a sponsorship packet that explains benefits for each level.
