Mav's Buddies 1 Mile Walk and 5k Run/Walk

Mav’s Buddies hosts an event in Midland, NC, featuring a walk and run at Rob Wallace Park. Organized by Miss Cabarrus County’s Outstanding Teen, the event aims to raise awareness and funds for Down syndrome, highlighting its status as a prevalent but underfunded condition in the US. Proceeds will support the KennedyStrong Foundation, contributing to programs that foster inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome. The initiative is inspired by Maverick, the namesake of Mav’s Buddies, promoting community engagement and support for those with the condition.
