CHALLENGE YOURSELF
TO CHANGE LIVES.

There’s nothing like the Best Buddies Challenge. Find out for yourself. Sign up as an individual or form a team with friends and together we will help Best Buddies enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

After careful consideration and with input from our Board of Directors, the Executive Committee of the Best Buddies Challenge: Hyannis Port and the Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle and Best Buddies staff, we have made the decision to transition to a “Create Your Challenge” experience. We all must continue to work together to flatten the COVID-19 curve and keep our communities safe for everyone. This transition will allow even more people to participate with us in a way that is comfortable, safe, and engaging. As leaders in the field of inclusion and diversity, we are committed to moving forward together. Challenge Yourself to Change Lives today!

A FIVE-STAR EVENT

The Best Buddies Challenge is a five-star experience unlike any other charity event. We recognize the importance of your fundraising and will make sure you are well taken care of from the moment you register to the very last mile. Participants in the Challenge receive unparalleled support for their training and fundraising before the event. During your event, we’ll make sure you have everything you need to make it to the finish line. At the finish, you’ll be treated to massages, gourmet food, an open bar, and an amazing concert after party.
