On Saturday, March 17, the San Francisco office held its first Buddy Ball at the University of San Francisco. Participants from all over the Bay Area came to dance, sing, and meet people from other chapters. Buddy Ambassador, Champ Pederson, opened the night with a short speech welcoming everyone to the buddy ball and encouraging them to “get down with your bad self.” When the music started, everyone got on the floor and danced to current chart toppers and oldie-but-goodies. A crowd favorite was the opportunity to karaoke throughout the night. Favorite singers of the night were Lowell High School buddies, Brian Hayes singing Michael Jackson’s, “You are Not Alone,” and Gian Portuguez singing the Star Spangled Banner. Another exciting moment was when Lady Gaga’s song, “Born this Way” came on and dancers broke out the Best Buddies Flash Mob dance, which they learned for the October 16th Flash Mob held at Ferry Plaza. The BBCA staff in San Francisco would like to give a special thanks to Lowell High School, George Washington High School, and the Arc of San Francisco for bringing such a great crowd and making it so much fun! The Bay Area’s next event is the Annual 5K Friendship Walk on Saturday, April 28 located in Crissy Fields in San Francisco.
