Meet the Team

The Best Buddies Challenge has an amazing team to help you reach your fundraising and training goals. We’re here to make sure you have a five-star experience with us, from the moment you register to when you cross the finish line.

As part of the six-star experience, all Challenge participants are assigned a Development Associate once registered. This person will be your guide throughout the year to assist you, and answer any fundraising and logistics questions you may have. Our Development Associates host Challenge events throughout the year, so make sure the check our Events page for updates!
