Support Us at Buddy Walk®

We are so excited to have East Tennessee’s own, Houston Vandergriff, return as the Grand Marshal of our 2021 Buddy Walk®.

Houston is a travel photographer based in Knoxville, Tennessee.  He has traveled far and wide and hopes his photographs will inspire others to live life to the fullest and to live life with compassion. Houston has a simple vision with his photography: Make the world a better place. You can see his work and learn more about him here.

We are equally excited to have the Sunshine Ambassadors to also be attending the 2022 FRIENDS Buddy Walk as Grand Marshals. Sunshine Ambassadors are enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities through dance!

Let the dancing begin!
