WHAT IS TEAM BEST BUDDIES?
Team Best Buddies is an exciting and fun charity event that supports the programs and services of Best Buddies Maryland, and at the same time raises fundamental awareness of our vital friendship, integrated employment, and leadership programs.

Whether you are an elite athlete or a novice, you can join Team Best Buddies at the Baltimore Running Festival on Saturday, October 13. Challenge yourself by running or walking in your choice of the 5k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or four-person team relay. After running through the streets of Baltimore - beyond Camden Yards, the Inner Harbor, Canton, and even through Fells Point – you'll cross the finish line in the parking lot of M&T Bank Stadium where you'll find loads of cheering spectators rooting you on!

To help you train for your run, Team Best Buddies will have pre-race group runs, special weekly prizes, and a pre-race team tent gathering in the Running Festival Village and a post-race party.

Please contact Amy Tignanelli, Development Coordinator for Best Buddies Maryland, at AmyTignanelli@bestbuddies.org or 410.327.9812 ext. 35 for more information. The funds raised from this event will support programs locally and throughout Maryland!

Best Buddies is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Best Buddies programs engage participants in every state and in 50 countries around the world.

People with disabilities are often excluded from society because of their differences. Best Buddies has created a spirit of public service for middle school, high school and college volunteers that will last a lifetime. Get involved as a participant or become a sponsor to help build a stronger foundation for Best Buddies Maryland.
