End of an Era | Ted's Take

The last Best Buddies Ball took place this past weekend at the Shriver’s home. It is the end of an era. This Washington Post article captured the feelings of the attendees quite well.

I was honored to work with and support this group over the last dozen years.

I intend to keep working with them and to keep my e-Buddies relationship going with Big Ken Holden. Big Ken and I correspond by email two to three times per day.

The Shrivers are amazing people. I consider them dear friends and am proud of all they do to make the world a better place to live.

I was priviledged enough to attend Best Buddies for 2 years while working at one of the sponsors. Truly an amazing function for a wonderful cause, and very sad to see that this is the final year. I’m sure Anthony will continue to organize successful events on the charity’s behalf in the future, but I doubt they will equal the spectacle that the Balls always were.
