Service Opportunity
Join Us for the DSAA Buddy Walk on Saturday, October 3!

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody has a wonderful opportunity to support our community and make a meaningful impact. We are looking for volunteers to help out at the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta (DSAA) Buddy Walk!

The Buddy Walk is an amazing day filled with fun, games, and activities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families. It also serves as DSAA’s main annual fundraiser, making volunteer support essential to ensure the event runs smoothly and successfully. Our own member, Andrew Turner, serves on the DSAA board.

Volunteering at the Buddy Walk is a rewarding experience where you’ll get to interact directly with inspiring families, help run activities, and share in the joy of the day.

Event Details

• Date: Saturday, October 3, 2026
• Time: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Location: Kennesaw State University – Marietta Campus

As we know, dedicated volunteers are the key to making any event a success! Whether you can lend a hand for a few hours or stay for the full shift, your time and effort will make a huge difference.
