Marshall Best Buddies Program

Please support Marshall Best Buddies – and all the Virginia chapters that work and play hard to give intellectually disabled kids a “normal” high school experience. My daughter Jeannie’s experience at Marshall high school would be much less fun and more isolated were it not for her best buddy, Jackie and the Best Buddies program as a whole. Because of Best Buddies, Jeannie has had fun at the movies, dances, cookie decorating, pizza parties, hanging out at the mall – all the things that all teen-agers like to do!

To support the wonderful work of Best Buddies, including Marshall events, regional leadership training, meetings and events, Marshall Best Buddies is participating in the Audi-Best Buddies Challenge 5K run/walk on October 20,2012.
