Buddy Walk of the Valley 2009 |
|
Another Successful Year!
What a wonderful event the Buddy Walk of the Valley 2009 was.
We raised over $75,000!
The DSAV will contribute around 10% to the National Down Syndrome Society and the remaining net funds will stay right here in the valley for our programs, support and resources.
Thanks to everyone who walked, raised funds, sponsored the event and volunteered. |
