Best Buddies Canada

Best Buddies was founded in the United States by Anthony Kennedy Shriver, nephew of the late 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Best Buddies Canada was established in 1993 by Daniel Greenglass and Penny Shore and was incorporated as a registered Canadian charity in 1995.Best Buddies does not receive any direct government funding for our programs or for operating costs. Our major source of funding is through our annual Gala, hosted in September during the Toronto International Film Festival.
