Best Buddies of Texas

Best Buddies is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities by providing opportunities for one-to-one friendships. People with disabilities are often excluded from society because of their differences. This organization is determined to end social isolation for people with intellectual disabilities by establishing meaningful and lasting friendships with their non-disabled peers. These friendships help increase self-esteem, confidences and the abilities of all involved.

On Saturday, April 25th from 1-4pm Best Buddies will be holding their annual Festival of Friendship to raise awareness and funds for the Texas program. If you are interested in participating in this event please send an email to IvieCares@ivieinc.com.

Best Buddies is rated 4 ouf of 4 stores by Charity Navigator.
