Friendship is one of life’s necessities, but for many children with disabilities--true friendship is just a dream. The Friendship Circle is a non-profit organization that fosters friendships between children, teens, and young adults with disabilities and their typically developing peers; providing social, recreational, and educational experiences. The Friendship Circle believes every individual, regardless of ability, is a productive member of the community.

A little look back at the magic of last year’s Friendship Walk. 💜👟

The big smiles. The cheering. The laughs. The high-fives. The happy chaos. And so many people coming together to celebrate what makes our community so special. 🥹

These moments are exactly why we love the Friendship Walk — and we can’t wait to make even more memories this year!

DAY 3 🧡

Today was all about discovering, exploring, and learning together.

From trying new things to sharing ideas and encouraging one another, our campers showed that some of the best moments happen when we’re curious and work as a team. Every activity was another chance to build confidence, make new friends, and see the world a little differently.

We can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
