Supporting Inclusion Nationwide: Custom Inflatables for Best Buddies Friendship Walks

The Best Buddies Friendship Walk brings communities together to support inclusion and celebrate connection. With 80 walks around the world and more than 50,000 participants, these events bring communities together in support of inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We're proud to support Best Buddies International by producing eye-catching custom inflatable arches for their local chapters.

Founded in 1989, Best Buddies International is a global nonprofit creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, inclusive living, and family support for individuals with IDD. Learn more about their mission at bestbuddies.org.

Designed to Travel. Built to Last.

Every Best Buddies arch we produce is made with vibrant full-color graphics and bold brand messaging that gets noticed from across a field, a mall, or a stadium. We use a durable, weather-resistant material that holds up across seasons, while a quick setup system keeps things simple for volunteers and staff.

One of the standout features is the detachable sponsor banner. Event organizers can easily update sponsor details and event branding without replacing the entire arch—making it a smart investment for national organizations running multiple local events each year.

Consistent Branding Across All Locations

We work closely with Best Buddies chapters around the country to deliver customized arches that match national branding guidelines while highlighting local sponsors or region-specific needs. From Pennsylvania to Texas, these inflatable arches help create a recognizable starting point and photo-worthy backdrop for every Friendship Walk.
