Best Buddies International founder Anthony Kennedy Shriver visited Aspen School District on Monday, where he met with local Best Buddies members, students and district staff.
Best Buddies programs help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, and develop self-advocacy and communication skills.
The next local Best Buddies event is the Boots and Buddies Bash friendship dance, slated for 6:30-8:30 p.m. Nov. 9 at The Arts Campus at Willits, 400 Robinson St. in Basalt.
“Get ready for a fun night at the Boots & Buddies Bash! If you’re 10 or older, join us for a fantastic evening filled with snacks, drinks, and dancing,” according to Best Buddies online. “Put on your favorite boots, grab your friends, and come enjoy a night you won’t forget! Don’t miss out — let’s make it a blast!”
