Our Commitment to Health and Safety

At Best Buddies, our priority is to protect the health and well-being of our participants and supporters. In this effort, Best Buddies will be requiring all event attendees to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 (PCR) test result within 72 hours of entrance to the event. If you are fully vaccinated, you may provide proof of vaccination instead of a negative test.
