A Season of Impact: Growth, Connection, and Giving Back

We have had a busy winter season at Buddy Up For Life! Between new chapter launches and location expansions, renewed programs, and community outreach, our Students and Athletes are giving and receiving all the love. Read on for more information about what we’ve been up to!

Giving Back

In February, our Participants had an opportunity to partner with the Red Shoe Volunteers at Ronald McDonald House and spread joy by making Valentines for patients and guests. It was a great opportunity to partner with our community and give back to others!

New Health & Wellness Chapters

So far this year we’ve expanded our Health & Wellness footprint with three new launches in three different states––plus a new Tennis club partner!

• January:
  • Launched Tampa Pickleball
  • Re-launched Nashville Fitness
  • Partnered with a new Tennis club in Cincinnati
• March:
  • Launched Cape Girardeau Pickleball (Missouri)

Life Skills Expansions

Our Life Skills classes are on the move in Columbus! This year, we’ve partnered with Easterseals Central and Southeast Ohio as well as Easton Town Center to bring our programming across town.
