B.U.D.S will offer reimbursements of up to $250.00 to each family with a Family member with Down Syndrome, the registration fee only for Conferences/Workshops annually (January - December), as determined by the Board Members of B.U.D.S.

To qualify for the available funding, you must do at least ONE of the following:

• Attend at least 3 board meetings.
• Volunteer, for a minimum of 3 hours, for BUDs. Examples would be helping with the Buddy Walk, organize family activities, coordinate Moms’ nights or Dads’ nights, etc.
• Bring in at least $500 in sponsorships for the Buddy Walk.

Members that are eligible need to submit this application once per calendar year (maximum $250.00) along with the receipt of the Conference/Workshop.
