Buddy Walk & Family Fun Day 2025

Remember this?!? Let’s do it again! See you on Sunday, October 19th—doors open at 8AM for BUDDY WALK & FAMILY DAY 2025

We have all the same great activities planned with some new faces and some who have been a part of Buddy Walk for many years. 

How to get involved:

Create a Buddy Walk team to share with family & friends to raise money and encourage them to register to Walk Beside Us! https://dsanwi.org/2025-buddy-walk-family-fun-day/#team

Order a Buddy Walk tshirt, one free for individuals we serve, if ordered when registering. Last day to order is October 3rd! 

Grab a stack of flyers at the Friendship Center to drop off at local businesses. Encourage them to collect change, make a donation to your team or put together their own fundraising team—and if they post a flyer, (send us a photo!) we will share and tag them on our Facebook page! 

Interested in sponsoring or volunteering? Call us at (219)838-3656–we’d love to tell you more!

We can’t wait to see all your beautiful faces smiling, walking, dancing and laughing at Buddy Walk & Family Day 2025!
