Seaside, OR: Saturday, September 16, 2016, Sammy’s Place will host the 13th Annual BUDDY WALK® at the BEACH in downtown Seaside at Quatat Park, representing Clatsop, Tillamook, and Lincoln Counties.
The BUDDY WALK® is a national program providing an opportunity for our entire community to come together and walk side by side with friends, family members, and neighbors to promote understanding and acceptance of people with all abilities. This year’s walk intends to bring awareness that disability is normal.
Events will begin at 9am and include music, face-painting, food and legendary raffle prizes! The walk is a short march through downtown Seaside, OR and culminates back at Quatat Park for a dance party.
The BUDDY WALK® at the BEACH has raised over $60,000 to support the mission of Sammy’s Place – to create a nature-centered living, working, and respite setting for people who experience disability and those who share their journey.
