Friendship Walk
Friendship Walk
The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is the premier national walking event supporting inclusion, friendship, leadership development, and integrated employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It is held in 80 cities, and it brings communities together to raise funds and awareness to end the social and economic isolation of individuals with IDD.
The WVU chapter participates in the Pittsburgh Friendship Walk. The Pittsburgh Friendship Walk is our biggest event of the year. We walk to support all, no matter the disability; we are all one.
If you are interested in the Friendship Walk, please reach out to the WVU Friendship Walk Coordinator or the Best Buddies Program Manager.
