About the event
Join Empower Society 21 at the 2025 Best Buddies Friendship Walk—a powerful movement dedicated to creating a world where individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are celebrated, included, and empowered.
With over 200 million people with IDD globally, your support helps create life-changing friendships, jobs, leadership opportunities, and inclusive communities.
We walk in loving memory of our co-founder, Tinesha, whose life was transformed through the Best Buddies program at Oak Forest High School. Her legacy of inclusion lives on in every step we take.
It’s a FREE event for all ages!
