Two years ago, we joined Best Buddies at Utah State University—an organization that is a part of the largest international nonprofit dedicated to ending the social, physical, and economic isolation of the 200 million people worldwide with intellectual and developmental disabilities (including Down syndrome, autism, Fragile X, Williams syndrome, and other undiagnosed disabilities). Little did we realize how big of an effect this program would have on us; through the friendships we’ve built and the experiences we’ve had, we’ve been able to witness firsthand the transformative impact this program can have on others. Our goal is to expand this impact even further by 1) creating more opportunities for individuals to build friendships, 2) hosting inclusive events, and 3) advocating for a world where everyone feels valued and supported. Please consider aiding us in fulfilling this mission and help us to support our buddies!
