We celebrate "21'derful" years in recognition of trisomy 21/Down syndrome and the lives of our children and other self-advocates who continue to raise up positive awareness about Down syndrome.
Registration is open online at

The Buddy Walk will begin promptly at 11 a.m., as we march in The Lewiston Kiwanis Peach Festival Parade. This is a 1/2-mile mild walk up Center Street to Academy Park, where all registered participants will, afterward, meet under the Peach Festival tent and enjoy the food, friendship and festivities.
