LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Friendship Circle hosted a 1-mile walk and community carnival called, "Walk for Friendship."
The goal was to raise awareness for individuals with disabilities.
"The Friendship Circle pairs teenage and young adult volunteers with physically and intellectually challenged children, teens, and young adults who may suffer from loneliness in addition to their handicap," said the organization in a press release. "Through shared experiences and activities, new friendships are created and a spirit of inclusion and acceptance of everyone is fostered."
