The Month of March 2008 Best Buddies Month
In 1992, Anthony Kennedy Shriver, founder of Best Buddies, named March Best Buddies Month in recognition of the efforts made to enhance the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and to draw attention to the work still to be done to diminish the isolation and misunderstanding that often surrounds intellectual disabilities.
