POSTPONED- 2023 DALLAS BUDDY WALK®

Due to the inclement weather timeline for this Sunday, October 29, the Down Syndrome Guild has made the tough decision to postpone the 2023 Dallas Buddy Walk® until Sunday, November 12, at Toyota Stadium from 11 am-3pm.  The event will still feature family-friendly activities, music, exhibitor booths, an awareness walk, and more.  This decision was not taken lightly as our team must evaluate many factors that go into such a large event including volunteers, vendors, set up timeline, sponsors, participants, and more.  We are thankful for the ability to pivot and reschedule this important day for our community.
