Help Summer raise money

As a former Best Buddies club member, I experienced firsthand the power of inclusion and friendship. Through the program, I formed lasting friendships and participated in countless activities that celebrated and supported my peers. Those experiences have inspired me to create communities where everyone feels seen, valued, and included.

Now, as an elementary educator, I get to see the importance of including all children in my classroom and community, regardless of their abilities. Best Buddies does an incredible job creating meaningful opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to build friendships, develop leadership skills, and become more connected to their communities. Their work helps create a more inclusive and accepting world, and I am proud to support their mission.

As a retired collegiate cross country and track & field athlete, I'm excited to lace up my running shoes once again to run the Falmouth Road Race on August 16th, as a member of Team Best Buddies of Massachusetts & Rhode Island!

As I train for race day, I'm also working toward my fundraising goal of $2,000. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps Best Buddies continue making a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

I would be grateful for your support. Together, we can build more inclusive communities where everyone has the opportunity to belong, grow, and thrive. Thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and belief in this mission. I can't wait to cross the finish line knowing that, together, we made a difference.

Thank you!

Summer Bejarano :)
