The Summer Sendoff strives to strengthen community ties while raising funds and awareness for a local non-profit organization. The 2024 Summer Sendoff non-profit recipient is Best Buddies a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, inclusive living, and family support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). A portion of EVERY registration will be donated to Best Buddies as we run and walk to raise money and awareness about the power of INCLUSIVITY.
The Best Buddies program empowers the special abilities of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society. “Best Buddies gives people with special abilities a chance to make friends, speak up, be heard and advocate for themselves and others within their community.” - Best Buddies in Pennsylvania
The Summer Sendoff was created as a Graduation Service Project in 2022 by Downingtown East and STEM Academy Cross Country and Track and Field Athletes.
