It is with extreme sadness that we

announce that the 2026 Buddy Walk
has been cancelled. 

Due to the weather and out of concern for the safety of all of our friends and family, we have made the hard decision to cancel the Buddy Walk this year. However, while we are not able to be together in person, we will be conducting a virtual Buddy Walk that we'd love to invite everyone to join. One other exciting way that you can support the Down Syndrome Foundation of Tallahassee is by checking out our silent auction. We'd love for you to bid on some of the awesome items donated to us. The auction will close on October 12, 2026. Winners will be contacted, and arrangements will be made to promptly get you your items. You will also have time to share your team pages with friends, and they can continue to donate as well!

Who We Are

A Distinct Identity

Our mission is to support families of those with Down Syndrome and to provide an open forum to discuss issues regarding Down Syndrome. We aim to create a welcoming environment where families can share their stories, offer advice, and show their support among each other and the community through this journey. Created by Heather Mudd and Jenna Doerr, mothers of sweet little girls with Down Syndrome, we are passionate about bringing together our community, providing support for families and learning from our shared experiences.
