Join us for the 20th Annual Community Link Buddy Walk!
The 20th Annual Community Link Buddy Walk will be a day for A Royal Celebration on September 19, 2026 at Northside Park in Breese, IL. We will once again kick off our celebration with karaoke performances by our participants beginning at 10am. Following the opening ceremony, we will begin our walk with royalty for the 1-mile fun walk together through the streets of Breese at 11am. After the walk, we will enjoy some enchanted time together with family and friends, while our royal family delights the crowd with a fashion show. Activities include games and crafts, lunch available for purchase from The Red Porch Café and other vendors, and many noble surprises.
The Buddy Walk was established by the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) in 1995 to raise awareness and support programs for those with Down syndrome. Community Link is proud to have one of the larger walks in the country to support local programs while contributing 2.5% of proceeds to NDSS for national initiative
