Stevens: Can’t stop smiling over Best Buddies Roaring Fork Valley
I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to Best Buddies Roaring Fork Valley and everyone who made the recent Boots and Buddies Friendship Dance possible. My daughter Faith, who has Down syndrome, can’t stop smiling. The sense of joy, community, and inclusion for families like ours is something we rarely get to experience. Watching families of all abilities come together to celebrate friendship and self-expression is wonderful. My daughter and her best buddy from the Adult Citizen Program got to line dance together.
Special thanks Tristan Trincado who performed. The energy from the volunteers, especially the dancers from Dance Aspen, made the evening unforgettable. It’s clear that, together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive Roaring Fork Valley where everyone feels valued and celebrated. We are counting down to the Best Buddies Prom!
Thank you, Best Buddies, for bringing this vision to life for our family.
