Best Buddies Tampa Bay Friendship Walk
The Best Buddies Friendship Walk is the number one walk in the United States raising awareness and funds to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabiliites (IDD). The Walk plays a key role in funding Best Buddies programs in Tampa Bay dedicated to one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for individuals with IDD. There are currently Best Buddies programs in 40 middle schools, high schools and universities in Tampa Bay.
The Best Buddies Friendship Walk begins at Cotanchobee Park, 601 Old Water Street, Tampa, FL 33602 ( across from the Amalie Arena and adjacent to the Marriott Waterside Hotel) and travels along the scenic Tampa Riverwalk for one mile and then back to the start area for a total of 2 miles. Participants can walk all or any portion of the 2 mile course at any pace. A light breakfast is offered before the walk and a light lunch is offered after the walk. The post walk party features a DJ and a bounce house, face painting and entertainment for children.
There is no cost to participate in the Best Buddies Friendship Walk but all walkers must be registered. All walkers who raise and/or donate at least $50 receive a Best Buddies Friendship Walk T-Shirt.
