The BUDDY WALK is a non-competitive, one-mile walk from the Prairieland campus through the surrounding neighborhood and Caden Park.

BUDDY WALK particpants are urged to form a team - friends, family, fraternity brothers or sorority sisters - name your team, raise funds together, and walk together during the event - walk with your Buddy.

The BUDDY WALK also features: - Entertainment and special activities in the Prairieland parking lot and Carden Park prior to the event - A raffle inside the Prairieland gymnasium (raffle prizes and following the event) - Food and beverages in the gym prior to the event

90% of funds raised remain in the community to meet the educational goals of CIDSO.

These programs include supports for school-age children, Adult Literacy programs at ISU and the HALO program at Heartland Community College.
