TO SUPPORT OUR ATHLETES

on the courts, in the gym,
and in the classroom.

World Down Syndrome Day is on March 21st (3/21) to symbolize that individuals with Down syndrome have a third copy of the 21st chromosome.

Support our Athletes in honor of World Down syndrome Day! Throughout all of our programs, when we begin expecting, encouraging, and believing that more is possible from our Athletes, real change happens. This philosophy is implemented on the courts at Buddy Up Tennis, in the gym at Buddy Up Fitness, and in the classroom at Buddy Up Life Skills (Columbus, OH only). Join us as we support, celebrate, and expect more from our Athletes so that they can strive for more and be more!
