Buddy Up for Life Dallas

Congratulations to Braxton, Will, and ALL of our incredible Athletes and Buddies who graduated this spring! Anice Morgan Stephens

As the temperatures rise in the summer, we move indoors to keep our Athletes with Down syndrome active and engaged with Buddy Up Pickleball (Saturday afternoons at 3 p.m. at DFW Indoor Pickleball) and Buddy Up Fitness (Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m. at Episcopal School of Dallas). If you'd like to get in on the fun as a Buddy volunteer, please check out the flyers below or email Cheryl at [email protected]. Buddy Up for Life, Inc

It's a new week, and we're excited to get it going by highlighting our second recipient, Buddy Up For Life. Buddy Up is an organization that provides adaptive programming for individuals with Down Syndrome. Under their Health and Wellness Pillar, this organization has a tennis program that consists of a weekly 90-minute experience, offering 30 minutes of fitness and 60 minutes of professional tennis instruction to people with Down Syndrome ages 5+. Athletes are partnered with volunteer Buddies to provide support, develop friendships, and reinforce the coaches’ instructions. Coaches are trained to implement the tennis curriculum specifically created for athletes with Down Syndrome. To check out the many ways to support this organization, visit their website: www.buddyupforlife.org

Yes, we are ON! We expect we will be able to clear all the puddles in time to have our Buddy Up Tennis clinic today, April 12!
