SOUTH FLORIDA – A group of musical legends teamed up in Doral to use the sport of Pickleball in order to help give back to the Best Buddies International program.
The Byline, Best Buddies’ official bi-annual online magazine, is now available! This edition highlights all the extraordinary things Best Buddies has accomplished throughout 2015 and the first half of 2016.
When a family receives the earth-shattering news that their child has an intellectual or developmental disability, the whirlwind of emotions can feel devastating. In the span of a few minutes, dreams shatter while questions and fears multiply rapidly. An experience that was supposed to be filled with joy and anticipation pivots sharply to confusion and grief.
But what if amid that swirling chaos, a fellow parent who had walked this path showed up simply to listen and say, “Me too - you are not alone”?
Nearly 2,000 student leaders, volunteers, and staff from Best Buddies International’s programs around the world, will participate in the event July 19-21 at Indiana University in Bloomington. The conference will prepare the organization’s students leaders to be strong, passionate forerunners as they promote the mission of Best Buddies in their local schools and communities and inspire the world one person at a time.
