Mission Statement

Our primary mission for this year’s Buddy Walk is to raise our collective voices in support of our members and individuals diagnosed with other intellectual developmental disabilities (I/DD) in Southern Nevada. Our intent is to raise funds to develop and implement programs that will materially benefit our entire service population. This mission will be accomplished through active participation, collaboration, and support from a variety of service providers, like-minded organizations, members, sponsors, and supporters like YOU!
