Operative words

The Best Buddies Virtual Friendship Walk! [introduced as] something more unique and captivating than anything we've ever done before. (The March 16, 2020 post states the conversion without stating the reason; the organizer's Southwest Florida chapter page of Apr. 22, 2020 records that its walk 'was one of many local events postponed due to COVID-19'.)
