Raising money for GiGi's Playhouse!

Donation protected
Apex, a pledge class for the Delta Sigma Pi professional Fraternity, is fundraising for the local Gainesville charity, GiGi's Playhouse.

As we are raising money we ask that you also learn more about those with down syndrome, and how it is important to promote and actively support those affected by giving them the best tools to succeed in life.

About GiGi’s Playhouse Gainesville

About GiGi's Playhouse, Inc.

Locations: 41

New Playhouse Inquiries: 200

Program Participation Hours: 200,000

Our Purpose:

To change the way the world views Down syndrome and send a global message of acceptance for all.

How:

We change lives through consistent delivery of free educational, therapeutic-based and career development programs for individuals with Down syndrome, their families and the community, through a replicable playhouse model.

With over 40 brick and mortar and pop up locations across the United States and Mexico and 200 inquiries to start new locations all over the world, GiGi’s Playhouse is the ONLY network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers. Every day, we provide FREE, life-changing therapeutic, educational and career training programs for 30,000+ individuals of all ages.

Down syndrome is the largest chromosomal disability in our country and yet, it is the least funded. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed!

Through free programs and through our Generation G Campaign for global acceptance, we EMPOWER families by maximizing opportunities for daily achievement and lasting acceptance. To ensure lasting acceptance, we must show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are truly capable of achieving as students, co-workers, volunteers, friends, and valued members of their communities. Our program outcomes help advance this vital social impact goal.
