What once began as a group of buddies in the service industry getting together for a day of fun has now morphed into a legacy that is celebrating a decade of friendship, patriotism, and inclusion! And guess what??? You can come too!!!

May 29th on Farmington Road, the 2022 Buddy Bar Crawl will kick-off at Crusen’s on Farmington Road at 11am-1pm, stop by the Trolley at 1:30-3:30pm, then to Country Club BBQ from 4p-6p. And after that? Back to Crusens on Farmington Road from 6:30-9 for pizza, live music from Top4D, and giveaways!

Giveaways donated to the Buddy Bar Crawl include a Chromebook, booze basket, golf-simulator for 8, and VIP Tailgate ‘N Tallboys tickets for Bloomington.

Buddy Bar Crawl shirts can be purchased for $25 and bracelets for the afterparty for $5. Want to purchase a shirt or bracelet? Want more info? Join the Buddy Bar Crawl Facebook page. Venmo instructions to get your shirt are in the chat.

Finally! Proceeds from the t-shirt and wristband sales will benefit Best Buddies Mission of Inclusion! You will support friendship chapters like Bradley University, East Peoria School District, Morton HS, and more. PLUS, you can support the opening of an adult friendship chapter for people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) that you can even join! Funds raised will also support Best Buddies Jobs program to help people with IDD find integrated and competitive employment. You could even help Best Buddies hire individuals with IDD where you work!

Drink. Celebrate. Hug. Laugh. Learn. And enjoy a day of fellowship on May 29th for the 10th Buddy Bar Crawl on Farmington Road!

Also, dress as patriotic as you feel! And, don’t forget to bring a buddy.

See you there! – Your Best Buddy Ryan
