Photo showed Buddy Walk

The Down Syndrome Association of Greater Cincinnati raised $120,000 Saturday during its third annual Buddy Walk along the Newport Levee. About 4,200 walkers participated in the event, which included separate walks of one mile and two miles. The money raised supports families and children with Down syndrome. A caption under a photo in Sunday's Local News section misidentified the event.
