25th Annual DSNO Buddy Walk
September 20, 2026
9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Millennium Plaza Park in Lake Oswego
About the DSNO Buddy Walk® We are very excited to welcome our community to the 25th anniversary DSNO Buddy Walk® at Millennium Plaza Park in Lake Oswego on Sunday, September 20th! Buddy Walk®, established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society, is the premier advocacy event to celebrate Down syndrome awareness in the U.S., and the most widely recognized public awareness program for the Down syndrome community globally. The DSNO Buddy Walk® is not only a celebration, it’s also our primary fundraiser of the year, with over 97% of funds raised staying in the local community. For the 25th consecutive year, Down Syndrome Network Oregon, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, will host our annual DSNO Buddy Walk celebration and fundraiser on a Sunday in September. DSNO draws nearly a thousand people in a celebratory gathering of friends, family, neighbors, classmates, volunteers, supporters, and community members around several dozen Buddy Teams. The DSNO Buddy Walk® is a high-energy, fun-filled gathering appropriate for all ages, featuring activities and vendors, a brief program, a short, accessible group walk along the beautiful Oswego Lake, lunch, time for gathering and socializing, music and dance performances, and a community resource fair. Each year we welcome and connect new families into our community that serves those who experience Down syndrome or another disability, and their families. This event is a great way to plug in, relax, meet others, and show your support for your loved ones and their friends while being part of a positive, loving, inclusive community that welcomes all. Funds raised at the DSNO Buddy Walk® are used for maintaining and expanding our programming that benefits our local community, including families in the Portland metro area, SW Washington, the Willamette Valley, and throughout Oregon. DSNO uses these funds to connect, embrace, and celebrate our community, primarily through year-round programming for over 225 individuals and their families, including: baskets of hope for new parents, playgroups for ages 0-5, regular fitness and skill-building classes, year-round dance and pickleball clinics, summer sports and dance camps, monthly gatherings and an annual weekend getaway for both moms and dads, and regular gatherings for all ages including World Down Syndrome Day (March 21st), Family Summer Kickoff, Boo Bash, Caroling Bus, Winter Formal, and many more. Registration is required for the event, and the majority of fundraising for the DSNO Buddy Walk® is done prior to the event through Buddy Team fundraising, sponsorships, and other registrations and donations. We also provide opportunities to donate at the event, and we encourage everyone who is planning to make individual donations to donate through a Buddy Team to help them meet fundraising milestones and earn prizes.
