CHALLENGE YOURSELF
TO CHANGE LIVES.

There’s nothing like a 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.

We intend to proceed with event planning with your health and safety being our top priority. We will continue to monitor and follow the guidance of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Health Department and the CDC to adjust our event production strategy as needed. While nothing is guaranteed, we remain hopeful and will keep all options open and in direct compliance with the Massachusetts Health Department and the CDC as the October 2nd event date gets closer.
