Best Buddies Friendship Walk

In the Ignatian tradition, we are called to build communities rooted in dignity, friendship, and belonging. The Best Buddies program at Fairfield has long been at the forefront of this work. Each spring we host the Friendship Walk for Southern CT,  a powerful opportunity to live out that call and celebrate the work our buddies do throughout the year! Volunteers will help with setup and games, working alongside participants to ensure everyone feels welcomed, valued, and supported.

The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is the leading event in the country supporting inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We join 50,000 participants at 70+ Walks across the globe to support the Best Buddies programs in schools, workplaces, and communities. You’ll be making the world more welcoming to people with IDD — one friendship, one job, and one life-changing connection at a time. Join us in supporting a more inclusive world — one friendship at a time! See link to volunteer to help or email kbyrnes@fairfield.edu to join the team as a walker!
