In February of 2019, the Best Buddies School Friendship Chapter at Webster Groves High School hosted the first annual Best Buddies Birthday Bash in celebration of Best Buddies’ 30th Birthday!<\/p>\n

Over 200 local chapter members from middle schools and high schools attended this fun, festive and fabulous event. College Buddy, Ethan, helped spin tunes with DJ, Pat Imig, while friends of all abilities and ages danced the night away. And thanks to friends like Cordial Baked Goods, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Frito Lay and McAllister’s Deli, there was plenty of food and drink for all!<\/p>\n

The event was such a success, that it will become a new Spring tradition in the Show-Me State![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
