The Best Buddies Charlotte Friendship Walk is a heartwarming and inclusive annual event that brings together people of all abilities to celebrate friendship, inclusion, and community. As part of the national Best Buddies Friendship Walk series, this event raises funds and awareness for Best Buddies North Carolina, a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).

Participants—ranging from students and families to corporate teams and local organizations—join together for a fun-filled day featuring an inspiring walk, music, entertainment, and meaningful connections. Every step taken helps support Best Buddies' programs in schools, workplaces, and communities, empowering individuals with IDD to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and find employment opportunities.

Whether you're walking, donating, or cheering on the crowd, the Best Buddies Charlotte Friendship Walk is a chance to make a difference and champion inclusion for all. Join us for an unforgettable experience and help create a world where everyone belongs!
