Each fall, thousands of friends join us for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Buddy Walk® & Family Fun Day. For our 24th Anniversary in October 2025, we’re celebrating YOU at Lincoln Financial Field! It will be a day filled with entertainment, activities, music, food and more for the whole family in the home of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Throughout the past 24 years, the Trisomy 21 Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has supported thousands of families who have a child with trisomy 21, commonly known as Down syndrome.

The CHOP Buddy Walk draws more than 2,500 participants each year and has raised more than $4.9 million to support care and research for individuals with Down syndrome at CHOP. With your help, we can make this year’s event even bigger, raising more money and making more breakthroughs possible for children and adults with Down syndrome!
