"My experience with Best Buddies has been awesome. The chance to form a meaningful relationship with my Buddy and see how much he enjoys just simply hanging out is an opportunity I might not have gotten without the Best Buddies program. As much as I think my Buddy, Matthew, has enjoyed our friendship, I know I have benefited just as much if not more. Best buddies has helped me truly realize how important it is to form relationships with all different types of people."
