Roll out the red carpet we got a local celebrity coming through!!! and that celeb is our very own Ambassador, Ryan Falcon. 🤩🤩

Ryan has been on his media blitz as he has been a guest on both IHeartRadio and WFAA to share about Best Buddies Friendship Walk this weekend. His goal, make Best Buddies a household name, (I like the sound of that).

We are so proud of you Ryan and all that you do to create opportunities for our community. Way to represent.

We cannot stop thinking of the incredible day we had on Saturday. Central Texas came together to raise over $70,788 for our local programs. This creates new opportunities for people with IDD across our state.

Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors, and walkers that showed up in the unpredictable Texas weather and had a blast. You all made a huge impact on this amazing day.
