A message from our State Director
A year with bigger impact than ever before
The 2023 Friendship Walks came with growth, excitement, and opportunity. Each year, our team works tirelessly to create fun-filled, inspiring events. This year was no exception. Together, we will continue to make an impact across New York and move our mission of inclusion forward.
Best Buddies in New York held four Friendship Walks in 2023: Rochester, NYC, Long Island, and Albany. Each event came with unique challenges and successes, but what was aligned across all events was the incredible support from our dedicated volunteers, participants, donors, and partners. Because of this, Best Buddies in New York is able to continue providing crucial programming across the state, serving even more people with disabilities in our schools, communities, and workplaces.
