BUDDY WALK

Did you know that there are only 11 days, maybe only 10 if you are reading this on Tuesday, until the 13th Annual KC Buddy Walk. Our team reached my personal goal to raise $1000, but there is still time if you want to be a part of our team. The KC Buddy Walk is one of the largest in the nation. KC's goal this year was $325,000...well we have reached that goal and now the 2nd goal is $355,000 which would take over Cincinnati's lead spot as I believe Top Dog.


KC has 284 teams

6190 Walkers

$343, 092 raised
