From the founders of the Buddy Cruise, GINGIVES BACK Pam & Jorge Arnoldson Read more on the next page >>> The Global Information Network was first introduced to the Buddy Cruise in Washington, D.C. at our 2013 Family Reunion event. When we asked the Buddy Cruise founders about their reaction to the donation from GIN, they commented: We are still trying to wrap our heads around the generosity of the club! I t all started with Joseph. The found- ers of the Buddy Cruise, Pam and Jorge Arnoldson, were blessed with baby Joseph. They soon discov- ered that Joseph had special needs and began to connect with other families in similar situations. While at the official Buddy Walk in New York City, the family realized they were not alone. Many families had chil- dren and adults with special needs that lived completely normal lives. Read the complete story here. >>> The family returned home completely inspired and uplifted! So much so that they decided they wanted to do a Buddy Walk right in their home state of Florida. There was only one thing holding them back: All that walking in New York City had left all of their legs pretty tired! Thus, the Buddy Cruise was born on November 4, 2008. Operat- ing solely on donations and grants, the Buddy Cruise is able to continue its mission.
THE GOAL OF THE BUDDY CRUISE CHAR- ITY is to provide educa- tional opportunities and resources for families, while promoting awareness, accep- tance and inclusion for individu- als with special needs. The Buddy Cruise Charity is equipped to handle all disabilities of people from all age groups. Everyone needs to know that children and adults with special needs CAN STILL LIVE INDE- PENDENT LIVES!
Another goal of theirs is to empower special needs teachers to be able to teach kids that people with disabilities are just like us! They like to swim, play with their friends, get educated, travel...You get the idea! That is where Buddy Cruising in the Classroom comes in. Buddy Cruising in the Classroom is a program that teaches kids without disability that kids with special needs are the same as them it may just take them a little bit longer to get there. Were implement- ing a program for schools that will teach typical children that children with special needs are like them, teaching inclusion & acceptance. We will have this program modi- fied & delivered to school personnel, teaching benefits of inclusion, etcwith assis- tance from the National Down Syndrome Society. The Buddy Cruise Charity chooses a new organization each year to give something back. Many times they give to an organization in third world countries, low income families with special needs children and adults, special needs awareness groups and more! Donations include books, resources and other valuable items designed to assist those with special needs as well as raise awareness. As GIN Members you know the best way to get ahead is to give back. If you cannot donate cash, but have a larger ticket item to donate, consider giving to the Buddy Cruise silent auction. On each Buddy Cruise, a silent auction is held to raise funds for the cause. Some examples of items you can donate include: Vacation packages, Moms packages, Dads packages, kids packages and other items that may help families with special needs. "Buddy" is the first special needs mascot! 0 0 4 March 2014
