DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) - Dozens laced up their shoes for the 10th Annual Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association Buddy Walk at Fifth Third Field on Saturday.

The Buddy Walk raises awareness and promotes inclusion for individuals with Down syndrome.

This was the first time the walk has taken place at Fifth Third Field.

In addition to the walk, the Entertainment Fun Zone was also open with face painters and Big Sam the stilt walker. Dragons mascots Heater and Gem also roamed the concourse and took pictures with those in attendance.

All of Saturday's proceeds will go towards the Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association.

The Miami Valley Down Syndrome Association is a network of parents, health care providers, volunteers, family members, and community supporters providing help and support to people throughout the Miami Valley with Down Syndrome. Through the generous support of the community, the MVDSA is able to develop programs and services that will help to enhance the quality of life for individuals with Down Syndrome.
