Our Friendship Walk in Will County is a fun celebration of friendship and inclusion across Chicagoland. The event will include a walk, fun games, free food, speeches from our community members, and a day of celebrating our disability community. We would love to have each of you join us as a volunteer to make the day a success!

We'd like for volunteers to plan to attend from 6:30am-12:00pm on May 4th at Lincoln-Way East High School. Please note that the event will be outside on the football field, but in case of inclement weather we will move inside the gym. Additionally, please fill out this form to complete your registration: https://forms.bestbuddies.org/4903690?eventId=a18Uc00000Q4cNv
