Representatives from Boardwalk Buddy Walk and Uncle David’s Ice Cream met March 5 in Lewes to present a generous donation in support of the Cape Henlopen High School Best Buddies Club.

Funds donated by the organizations will help to further the club’s mission of fostering inclusion and friendship for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This contribution will support club activities, events and initiatives that create meaningful connections and empower members.

In 2022, the Boardwalk Buddy Walk Fund board of directors committed funds to go toward the creation of Uncle David’s Ice Cream Shop and Mobile Catering, with the mission to create a supportive community where individuals with Down syndrome can live, learn, work and play. The business opened in 2024 and features Hopkins Dairy Farm ice cream. It also provides supportive employment for individuals with Down syndrome. The Cape Henlopen High School Best Buddies Club members are honored to receive this donation and look forward to seeing the positive impact it brings to the community.
